MX Linux Forum

Just a little update:

All working perfectly. The USB key i used was 32GB, this seems the best minimum size for running MX Linux in this mode (16GB may be a little small for an all on disk setting?).
If I understand correctly using the persistence option of "persist_static" keeps everything running ...

I prefer to use windows partition manager to setup my drives, mostly because it is clear and easy to use and i'm very familiar with it. But i found these links that may help you?

So i asked in anther thread about posting a nice "intro to MX Linux" video i had come across, and was directed to post it here. Then I thought maybe this could be a thread where anyone can post video's they found useful about MX Linux use. So please feel free to post any such videos and maybe this ...

Just a quick question, if i have found a good introduction to MX Linux video on youtube, is this the place to post a link?

EDIT: ok Jerry3904, I put it in Chat>General as suggested. Thanks.

Ha! My first home computer experience, back in 1984. It was a gift from an uncle that was moving on to a new Amstrad system for his office. I had the 16k ram pack, which meant I could buy games on tape to load in and play, 3D Monster Maze was perhaps the most impressive game you could get on the ...

:number1: Thanks for all your assistance fehlix! (and others too) Everything is looking good, working well. This is my first "portable" OS and it has huge potential and usage scenarios for me, so i'm stoked to carry on this journey with MX.

Keyboard and timezone settings are all saved in the ...

Success! (touch wood!)

Ok so i followed some of the advice given in this thread, and found a few other options that made it work for me, as far as I can tell. I had to use the 2xUSB keydrive method as Grok explains here, with a little modification:

Just to fire back a quick "thank you guys" for all your contributions. Probably i'll be back at this next weekend, just a quick update: Using either the rufus created USB pendrive or the "MX Live USB maker" version, and then trying a number of the persistence options in the menu before booting into ...

Ok thanks fehlix, i'm across 3 different laptops currently and have hit a small issue so will get back with the QSI details later as i get further in this project (and which laptop should i run that from or for all three, when i can?!).

Had an issue on one laptop with the version of MX Live I made ...

Hello guys,

I've created a USB install of MX-23.5 "Libretto" using Rufus (4.6p "portable" version). I can boot that USB on a couple of laptops i've tested it on so far (one Asus and one Acer) and running that "Live" version of MX-23.5 i've liked very much the look and feel of MX Linux so have ...
