OK, got them.

Thanks.  My assumption of no difference was/is lethal.  Any chance of 
mentioning the distinction in the instructions?

(For interest.
An .iso image could be booted from a HDD by 2010 at least.
https://antixlinux.com/forum-archive/problems-with-boot-from-iso-on-hard-disk-t2683.html

In that method, the vmlinuz and initrd.gz inside the .iso were used.

Kernel parameters "from", "fromhd" and "fromiso" existed back then. 
Examples are in AntiX pages including that cited above.  The from 
parameters are no longer listed.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html )

I understand but find gparted easier to use.

David, the current procedure is simple enough.  Have you or anyone you 
trust run the procedure with the specific three (iso, vmlinuz, 
initrd.gz) files you cited?

Thx,                                ... P.
