Any clues. please?
Never mind.
This time I've succeeded by using mintstick USB image writer.
If you want to learn the Debian way

section How do I write a CD/DVD/BD image to a USB flash drive?
cp or dd is your friend.
and then the section
How can I verify the downloaded ISO images and written optical media?
Installation of 4.5 32bit MATE non-pae is impossible for my samsung netbook. I've installed an older version of sparky and upgade it in "safe" upgrade, so I lost my dekstop :) After full dist-upgrade everything turns as expected with a 4.8.0-1-686-pae kernel.
I've also had to manually install gnome-system-tools (as mate-system-tools are discontinued). Discontinued is mate-bluetooth as well, and i had to replace it by blueman.
After that my netbook is sparky and happy :)
