I've tried this on different machines running different versions of MX, and with different ISO's, and I never seem to get it right.
MX live usb maker isn't able to flash an MX iso in FULL mode, i.e. creating a writable system that can be used with persistency.
This is the log after my last attempt, using MX23 64bit and flashing the same iso on an 8Gb microsd drive (yes, the sd is a fake 2Tb one, but I've been unsuccessful even with good and real usb sticks or sd cards before... also, on the same microsd card I can flash an ISO in dd mode with no problem at all...)
Thank you for your time
