The install wasn't really the problem (once I got a version of Linux

I think it came down to the UEFI stuff not liking being cloned.
I have dd’d A disk in and out succesfully but even 2 samsung 120G
flash disks are not identical and dd did not work.
The whole EFI business is tricky, try lots to get a solution or don’t
be innovative. The EFI scheme is not the same across motherboards
- my iMac, ASUS and NUCs all are different and need different care. caveat
emptor.
The dd worked fine - I could pull one storage device out, plug the
other one in, and it booted no worries - it was just when I moved them
between different NUC's (identical spec, down to BIOS version) that it
failed.
I was being lazy and trying to save myself doing another install - I
ended up costing myself double the time it would have taken to install
again in the first place.
I have to admit, this is the first time I've come across a UEFI
enabled device - live and learn.

I wonder what would happen if you did some kind of a diff between the
installs.
