1st guess is correct the 16G Flash was formated to Fat32. The solution to the problem was to use "dd" dd if=SL-75_x86_64-2018-05-1-EveryThing.iso of=/media/sl-76.iso
It took a while and when don the .iso file sizes are the same. The flash drive has a DISK directory and the .iso file. Next step is to try to install it.
