I am installing into the 2 partitions which previously held LLOS 4.8. The partitions were / and /home. The boot loader was on partition /. This was on an external USB HDD that had EXT4 partitions set up for this. This worked perfectly when booted. I do have an NTFS partition also on the same USB drive and these coexisted with no issues.
When doing the LLOS 5 install I chose the option "something else" and set the 2 partitions up the same as the previous install of LLOS 4.8. I set the boot loader to install on the / partition. Both times the install seemed to go without a hitch. Both times when I tried to boot, I got an error that it could not find the necessary boot files. It then went into boot rescue and did nothing for several minutes.
Once it said I would have to install Grub manually. Tried doing that while back in the live session, but it said it could not find the device.
I did do a timeshift of LLOS 4.8, but not sure it will work since the drive letters have changed from the new install attempts.
The / partition is 35 GN and the /home partition is 37 GB.
Any suggestions? I used Etcher to do the live USB and it seems to work fine.

Downloaded Etcher, moved to 4Gb USB pendrive
Downloaded Latest version of Linux Lite.
Run Etcher. Clicked on Linux Lite Etcher did it stuff and finished.
Moved Pen drive to destination PC. Already has a versionn of Linux Cinnamon installed.
Started Destination PC
Icon on desktop called Lonux Lite 5.0
Clicked on that, as per the instructions. This opened a file.
9 Directorys (or whatever people are calling these no-a-days) listed.
boot, casper, dists, EFI, install, isolinux, pool, preseed, disk plus three txt files, md5sum.txt, README.diskdefines, ubuntu
What am I supposed to do?
The instructions clearly say, double click on Install Linux Lite icon on the desktop.
This icon isn't there!
I don't know what to do. Can anyone please say in simple english, what I am supposed to do?
Thank you.

I had an annoying problem of the " internet icon" had gone missing and was not to be found by me. I posted a repair question and Jerry was kind enough to respond and fix the problem.
I do appreciate the time and effort I took from his busy day to help me out.
The support here on the forums is one of the best on the WWW.
