balenaetcher is purported to be smart enough to write an .iso and make it

Maybe it thinks too much over the entrails of the ISO.
(Does it perhaps have a plain copy mode which serves you better ?)
So I'm back to using dd.
Selfishly i advise you to put on belt and suspenders in this case:

I even try XFBurn, but get told by it that burn has not been enabled yet.
Xfburn is for optical media, not for memory cards.
Whatever, if the exact message is
"Burn mode is not currently implemented."
in the "Burn image" box, then click at the circle arrow button next to
the media type display. That's where the mouse cursor is in the second
screenshot of
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=339720
Afterwards Xfburn should be aware of the actual medium type and the
appropriate burn opportunities.
WTH good is a space wasting file called XFBurn [...] ?
In case of trouble i advise to use a command line burn program and to
copy+paste its exact error messages into any rant against its behavior.
Examples for xorriso, growisofs, and wodim are given at
https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-unix
The wodim example would work with cdrskin, too.
They all are for optical media, not for memory cards.
But I have an optical burner too. Just in case the bpi-m5 has grown the
ability to run from usb. I think the iso might have the ability to
install to emmc2, which the bpi-m5 has 16 gigs of. But in the meantime
Igor tells me that networking is now setup by netplan, a yaml app that
hellishly picky about its syntax, but finally worked, so I'm on my way
with a server version of noble.
Have a nice day :)

You too Thomas and thank you.
