Brian, thanks for the reply.  I see that that would seem to work

In the end I veered towards the 'preseed' approach, partly because 
some guidelines I was following and which included the USB rewrite 
were based on that objective.  My first try has failed to produce a 
bootable USB, but I'll do a lot more testing and checking before 
perhaps asking for any more help.  I recall that there's recently been 
a long thread about preseeding which will be helpful, I think.

regards, Ron
