Hello torreydale: Thank you for the information. I have decided to throw the towel in on this effort as this is my second day of attempting to load various versions of Linux on this old computer (was still working OK for my needs; had Cinnamon version 18.3 on it previously but forgot my password and could not access the OS.) After two days of nothing working, I decided to wipe the hard-drive this A.M. to install an 18.3 version of Cinnamon vs. Linux-lite but I have truly gummed up the notebook as now no version of Linux-lite or others will load from the USB drive. The last word I see flashing up on the screen (in very small print) is "preload" and that is the end of things. The hard-drive runs for several minutes and then the computer shuts down.
I have met my match.
Regards.
