You know you could say what the download was so as to keep others from potentially having the same issue. Just saying..
 
Sorry.

I clicked on the blue underlined link and followed the instruction. Result was locked Safari (believe this is called a kernel panic)?

This is obviously a total mess caused by me. I am not usually this stupid - but if I can do it - well I suppose any other idiot could.

I never download anything, not from Apple - but I just did - IDIOT!!

As best I can tell that link does point back to Apple:

Can't speak to what went wrong with your installation/update but it looks like the link is legit.
