Because of the length of my reply, I'm duplicating a paragraph from
below here, so it is the first thing seen!

However -- the following
claims to be instructions for setting up MachineKit on Debian 9 Stretch --
starting from the recent standard (flashable) OS image.

following:
The image I'm using is from here
<Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack Debian - eLinux.org;- successfully flashing an image on a microSD card and then transfer
them on to the BB-Black, so that it can run without the flash card inside,
It is unclear if that image can be converted to a flasher image -- it
may be SD card only. My suggestion would be to FIRST get it working from
the SD card... THEN consider if it can be flashed to the eMMC.
- connecting BBB to my PC via puTTY and to the internet (albeit,
apparently Google only, as I cannot have puTTy download any packages)
You don't use PuTTY to "connect[ing] BBB to my PC". PuTTY is a Secure
SHell/telnet client that is used to connect to remote systems -- so the
remote BBB must already be reachable via some network before PuTTY can get
to it.
Since PuTTY is a text console, I don't understand how you claim to have
connectivity to Google -- you aren't running a browser on the BBB (or if
you are it must be an ancient text-only -- like lynx [which I just
installed to demo]).
