Israel:

I could try any of the combinations, if necessary.

I was able to make a bootable USB of 14.10 (both Lubuntu, and 
ubuntuMATE) using UNetbootin.

I had to use the bootable USB on my Compac 933 mhz machine, is it has 
only a CD drive.  ubuntuMATE did not seem to work at all (not getting 
far in the boot process) on the 512 megabyte RAM machine.

But Lubuntu 14.10 seemed to do the same thing as the updated Lubuntu 
14.04 system (with the Intel graphics problem).

On the Dell Dimension DX-1100, I know I sometimes used a CD (for 14.04), 
and I know I used the Lubuntu 14.10 bootable USB at least once 
successfully (using the Intel graphics, rather than the NVIDIA PCI 
graphics card).  It seems I tried the live DVD of Lubuntu 14.10 (before 
I changed back to the Intel graphics).

The ubuntuMATE system worked well on that machine (with Intel 
graphics).  I don't know if I used the bootable USB or the live DVD (or 
both).

I know I used the bootable ubuntuMATE live USB system on my primary 
machine.

USB creator did not work for creating bootable USB's (tried only on 
14.04).  This was the case even using the Kubuntu 14.04 USB creator.

Only UNetbootin was successful in creating a workable USB system for me.
