Just now, using the "Places" entry on MATE's menu bar I was able to:
  1. mount the specific flash drive that triggered this 'plaint.
  2. edit the *SPECIFIC* text file that Pluma would only open as 
"READ ONLY".
     That had been "straw that broke the camel's back".

This has me wondering if the objectionable reaction was *before* 
OR *after* having run
      gsettings set org.mate.media-handling automount false

For another project, I was already intending to create a custom 
preseed.cfg.
That will allow me to do _functionally_ identical installs [only 
physical difference being the target partition of the 
installation procedure.].

Is there a standard log file that will record *ALL* operator GUI 
*OR* command line actions *AND* the system's response?

I've the time but am short on test procedure design skills.
