        All right, I now have it booted into F32 Live, with a Mate-
terminal open.

I've never use the Mate live boot.  Did it have an install option when
it started up?  If not, check the menus for an install option.

        It has the usual icon (on the desktop, not a panel) labeled
"Install to hard drive." After going through all the menus I could find,
and not seeing one for re-install, I tried that. It didn't show a re-
install either, not automatically and not under the help button. So I
quit the install. Is there a CLI method? Maybe even one already online?

re-install means do the install again, wiping out the previous install.

        I should mention that never on any new install have I managed to
make /home separate; every interpretation I've ever put on any directions
has led only to an impasse from which I had to start over. I don't know
what I've always gotten wrong, nor even whether it's always been one
thing.

If you don't have a separate /home directory, you will need to make a full backup of your current one because it will get wiped out in the install. The install will require formatting the root partition.
