This is strictly FYI to help others understand how things can go off the rail and though instructions look great on paper, one cannot cover all the unlikely possibilities.
Acting as my own attourney… I now what they say about that, I think I might be nearing senility but have a few blocks to go yet. When I read post 16 by @amarok in my Topic “Time to flash is now - but how?”, a excellent StepxStep.
I copied it to LibreOffice Write copied it over to the desktop that was going to do the flashing. I read it through a couple of times as I imagined the step-through looking for what I don’t understand.
If memory serves, I asked a couple of questions about things I wasn’t so sure about and some replies, I think, were added in to the SxS.
But NOTE please, that before asking here, I search the various posts, the wiki, and manual. Sometime I will also search what is nearby my house (Google results) and then search the Internet.
What Amarok or anyone else could not predict is how all the ducks were not lined up i.e. no “uuu”, one device had Amber the other had Byzantium.
When it said no ‘uuu’ my thought was "what in tarnation is a ‘uuu’! I read up on it and the language assumed people reading it spoke the same language so I came back here to ask.
In summary, I think that everyone did a great job of support. Couldn’t ask for better. I did and do not, want to learn what for others is second nature thanks to their dedication and experience with Linux/L5.
I just want to get the L5 to the stage where I can depend on it like it’s ads say. 
What I will continue to do, is to learn some how-to’s by looking it up myself.
Happy Easter everyone… and thank you all,
