Since you are booting in UEFI mode, you will need to select the GRUB menu entry for the kernel with Text Menus.

It will load the kernel and you will go through a series of menus to set various items, including Persistence.

Tried that.
That selection just leaves me with a blank screen.

did you use live-usb-maker to create the live-usb?

almost sounds like a video problem...maybe try the failsafe options...

FWIW... antiX is a lost cause for me with my limited skills... and my i5-gen10 intel box.

Yes I used the live-usb maker to make the usb.
Here are the screen shots from trying what you wanted. Hope this helps. Let me know what to try next.

Can't read it but I added persist at the end of the line

Images are too small.

Yeah I haven't figured this image thing out yet.
The second screen is as far as it gets after I hit F10 to continue.

Anything else for me to try?
Should I mark this thread Dead or not fixable or something like that?
Thanks for trying guys.
