After it crashed, I shut down the system and then restarted. Enough had been installed to boot and then I updated and reinstalled my apps. The reason the first partition is W95Fat32 is that the drive was originally blank (no partition table). The installer could not handle a blank drive. I know that the UEFI System Partition has to be a FAT file system, but neither gparted now Disks has a "Bootable" partition type.
I do know that Disk Image Writer created Windows type media for small drives (MBR not GUID PT, EFI Compatibility Partition for the code that won't fit in the MBR). I believe that is because whoever created the iso does not believe in UEFI. When I boot, the ASUS A88MX-A firmware offers me a choice of UEFI or no UEFI. The UEFI choice does not work. The no UEFI choice does. I did have trouble with the Software Boutique. PlayOnLinux could not install because the version in the Boutique relies on Python 2 which has been discontinued instead of Python 3. VirtualBox could not install because the version in Ubuntu requires that Ubuntu MUST be installed with a CD and demands that the CD be inserted in /cdrom. I installed it from the Oracle site. I do thank you for responding. During the last 3 years, I have only gotten 4 responses. 1 really tried to help! I am still working on the issue. I would like to help improve the Ubuntu and Ubuntu MATE installer. I am a Unix System V expert, not Ubuntu. But at least I can help move from BIOS booting (pre 1998) to UEFI booting. And the limited "Something else" can be updated using gparted and Disks - and bootable partition type can be added with the correct GUID. Again. Thank you for responding.
