I wrote to the USB thumbdrive using the tools provided by the Linux Mint
distribution,.

Hit button to boot computer
Hit Enter to enter boot options
Hit F12 to bring up option menu

There is no significance in Gecko, other than that it is the distribution
written to the thumbdrive.  I have since tried other distributions, with the
same lack of success, in that when I hit F12 and the boot menu  appears
there is no option to boot from a external USB thumbdrive, only from 
an externall USB-HDD  formatted as a datadrive - and and external USB-DVD
drive.
