in exploration of EFI issue & theory.. a series of repeated installs was performed.
this one failed I believe b/c of random circumstances (mirror sync or packages changing on mirror) thus it's of no value & just bad luck... HOWEVER
the calamares error messages didn't fit on display, thus no accept buttons and machine became stopped until ENTER was pressed (using the button that was off-screen and un-clickable with mouse).
Photo - https://photos.app.goo.gl/HGWiX8UAPaBjXwZx7
displays are 1280x1024, right is portrait (tilted-left) ; though portrait display may be detected smaller (1024x768 maybe)
the error message may not have been photographed in its position as I dragged it around to try and view accept button at bottom (which may have been before photo was taken)..
issue is because of small screen size; occurring only today b/c of bad luck (3 ~identical installs, only 1 had this issue)

I believe I've filed this issue before, and expected to find and mark this a duplicate, but currently I've failed to find it (maybe a release that is now EOL?)
