Thanks for your thoughts minesheep!
So here’s what I’ve decided to try based on Moltke’s idea and minesheep’s comments:
1) I decided to do a trial by putting my original LL3.8 bootable USB into this new install and updating the live USB and adding Unetbootin so as to be able to make a bootable ISO.
2) by the way when I booted up this machine (the new install) on which I want to do the install I can see two I mounted files that came from my original systemback ISO USB on which I was attempting to copy my other completed install. So I’m cautiously optimistic that maybe the systemback ISO is working and that I’m just not doing the partitioning properly.
3) so, given #2, my experiment is to tweak the live USB a bit simply so that I know it IS different that my original LL3.8 USB (do the updates and add Unetbootin).
4) Make a systemback ISO using Unetbootin while running this live USB and put it on a new USB.
5) boot the NEW USB on this same new install and see if it gives me the “install LL” choice once booted up...
I have started the process and will report back...
