No it's not a problem. That file is simply not being used in MX Linux.

1) It appears to me that in "full mode" minstall writes back to boot disk and "remembers" that the last attempted install was on NTFS-formatted single gpt-partitioned NVMe.
So even if I blow away all partitions with EASEUS boot USB, the NTFS comes back on the target disk.
2) installing from snapshot ISO doesn't work for me
3) the only (final ) succesfull install was when I created a single partition on the NVMe (gpt table) and formatted it with ext4
4) has anyone tested the "read-only" (dd) version of USB creator? It produces a weird single partition on USB - it boots, but fails to install.
So even if I blow away all partitions with EASEUS boot USB, the NTFS comes back on the target disk.

Weired, I always use ddrescue to "burn" the MX iso to my usb stick and it never fail me. What would you do when you're on other Unix-like system and don't have MX Live USB Maker? gddrescue or the plain old dd is universal and guaranteed to always works.

I also used to have installation failure once, also resulted in a corrupt partition table with a plain 256 MB ext4 partition. How did I solve this problem? Haha, I just reboot and try again, this time it worked 
p/s: I did nuke the drive with dd if=/dev/zero with bs=1M count=1000 before try again, though
