Thanks Martin, for the update, and your attempt to help this NanoVNA noob.
I did not watch the full boot sequence. When I tried to load Greml again after trying to load a Debian live distro that wouldn't load, it listed failures, but it stopped and never completed the startup.
When Greml first loads, there is a menu there. Which option did you load? Down arrow to select the few highlighted options did not worlk for me. Perhaps I should have taken that bit of information as indication of a load problem.
Good to know that it should have worked. I had several of these laptops. I think I cleaned the drives and tossed the others but if I can find one or a replacement CD drive, I will see what happens when I load the .iso.
