I can't speak for you, but I do feel that *I* am probably misunderstanding
quite a number of things.  But I do agree that things got worse rather than
better for my recent results.

In an effort to get forward momentum again, I tried doing some experiments
where I used GParted (off the Ultimate Boot CD) to set up the partition
table and the (one) partition on the USB stick, rather than this RUFUS
thing you had me try to use, because I am far more familiar with and
accustomed to GParted.

Unfortunately, I quickly ran into yet another very perplexing snag (and
perhaps a serious GParted bug).  You can read all about that here:

Anyway, I will work past this also, as best as I can, and try to report
more results here shortly.

I do understand what we are trying to do, and I'll work to try to get
there, using my own instincts, which are usually pretty good.

Regards,
