If anybody has anything to offer - for instance, how to make any computer boot from that flash drive? - I would be most grateful, as the experiment has been mostly successful otherwise.

G'day Bill, Have you tried Slax? https://www.slax.org/en/introduction.php A "proper" Debian on a flash drive. Only one thing, it does not have the TDE/Trinity desktop. However, there is "Slax with Trinity" https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Slax_with_Trinity which would be brilliant except that the "Persistent Changes" feature has been broken! I have tried to find how this feature can be enabled for the Slax with Trinity version, but I'm not smart enough. :-( Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Glen
