Tom I have followed the instructions but it bombed out at the end.
first message came up with a box copying files "install as super user"
then right at the end of the copying the message changed to "all most finished copying files"
Then it changed to installing files. that got most of the way through then a box with "installer crashed"
see screen shot:-
I tried it twice same result.
edit; I did not re: download the ISO again though

Found a fix for the update/upgrade/install from USB issues, added to original post all the relevant info, checked ad double checked on one of my laptops, it works.
Will do more testing on more hardware when i get a chance.
Regards and thank you all.
Tom.

Oh cr@p ! Sooo close ! 
I might just steal some time tonight to give it another go at squashing more bugs.
No need to download the ISO, it has not changed. There is the md5sum on the first post so just check that.
Did anyone test the RTAI version ? How did that go ?
I am sure they will boot just fine from USB as i have tested that into oblivion, obviously some bugs got through regarding install. Still do not know why the iso creator ( or some part of it ) insists on removing the installer.
Regards,
Tom.
P.S.

Hmm where is the video ?

I never had this issue, just read several posts on the net claiming it fixes the crashing.

Never heard of anything falling on the side of a truck 
Anyways I thought I might help the cause. RT only not RTAI
ISO:
drive.google.com/file/d/1g7iBAT4uYJmXiNg...yQA/view?usp=sharing
md5:
drive.google.com/file/d/1niJh7DHxVq68Uzb...35-/view?usp=sharing
Will boot with all kernel & boot text from USB or DVD, once installed it will boot as per normal.
If booting from VBox it may possibly stall on Regenerating SSL Certificates. Capture keyboard in the virtual machine and press shift and process will continue. Have tested a few times in a virtual machine and installation went fine. Haven't yet tried on reall hardware.
Note this ISO is not an official Mint Release, although remastered from one. So any issues blast myself, not Mint devs nor Tommy.
Cubic creates a iso that is not a hybrid ie: issues booting from USB will boot from dvd ok
easy fix is to use isohybrid /path/to/iso/image
isohybrid is part of syslinux-utils in bionic, xenial and recent debian
Please see this post for a newer version
