Bit of an oversight on the 64bit version of 2.4
If you install 64bit, lsb-release will show it as 2.2 (my bad)
Running the upgrade tool on 2.4 after a fresh install (funny, I know) should correct any mis-reporting

Thanks Jerry and Big Thanks to all involved for Linux Lite 2.4.
The problem of self-identification as 2.2 rather than 2.4 is solved thanks to Jerry's input. And it now, on my legacy BIOS machine, it boots straight from my (full installation) usb stick.
Interestingly enough, and sorry it's probably off topic - I found that I can now boot into Linux Lite from my ex-Windows 8.x UEFI machine.
How? On my legacy BIOS machine, from Synaptic - Custom Filters - Missing Recommends, I found and installed grub-efi.
Having done that, I found it still wouldn't boot in my UEFI machine directly-from-the-usb, no-surprise. But I left the usb stick in when running Ubuntu 14.10 on that machine and 'sudo update-grub' did the trick of placing 'Linux Lite 2.4' on the existing grub menu on that machine's HD. From which it does, now, boot successfully.
The only slight catch is that Linux Lite now calls itself 'Ubuntu' when booting directly from the usb on my legacy BIOS machine. But I suppose you can't have everything... 8)

Hello!
It now saying 'Ubuntu' could be a result of that 'dist-upgrade' command. Never fear, though - GRUB Customizer lets you change it from 'Ubuntu' to say whatever you want it to say...

Thanks Rob
This is, of course, not of great importance. But I have installed and looked at Grub-Customizer, as you suggested.
I'm going to start a new thread, however, as I seem to have hijacked my own thread here, and my initial problem is solved...
