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.

Thank You all
Larry Linder
