I *think* I solved the problem with failures of Ubuntu 24.04 to install.

Using *USB Startup Creator* to create the Install USB is what was causing the failures!

I found 1 person's comment where he was having the exact same failures as myself.
But he switched to Balena-Etcher to create the Install USB for 24.04 and it worked!

So I tried that.
- Downloaded the latest Balena-Etcher .DEB file: https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/tag/v1.19.17
- Installed it.
- Created the USB Installer for 24.04

Using that USB the *install using BTRFS and it... worked !!*

Tried doing the same using EXT4 and it... Worked also!!

I'd used Startup Disk Creator to reburn the 24.04 image and try to install at least 10 times, trying diff file systems,
24.04 Server and 24.04 Desktop with each attempt failing

So it seems *something about the use of USB Startup Creator* appears to be the root cause.
since a USB Installer created by Balena-Etcher using the exact same .ISO worked 1st time successfully.
