Hi! Much, much thanks.
Yesterday, in the middle of the night, there was a big suprise ... After I am used another USB stick, everything worked like expected !! Unbelievable ! This stick was really used several times and continues to work, but this stick, in this hardware, with this ISO don't work !! The same for another hardware. This stick. I put it to the garbage, naturally. So, a smalled priced piece, make the most expensive catastrophe. Ok, I am on the road now ... and the mini.iso is definitively bootable ... Much thanks for all hints and tips.
