MX Linux Forum

Hi,

is it possible to install MX Remaster and MX Snapshot on Debian (9 or 10)? If yes, how? Obviously the deb-packages cannot be installed.

Thanks in advance

They are not meant for Debian so they won't work. They rely on antiX and MX packages and live system that is different than Debian live system and at least as somebody who wrote MX Snapshot I can tell you that is not safe to use it on anything that was not designed for, I have checks for MX systems that might fail miserable on straight-up Debian and even if you manage to install the package they might ruin your system in some ways. There's a reason I use "MX" in front of the packages, they are meant and tested for MX not for anything else. If you use Debian use their tools, if you use MX you can use MX tools.

(that being said the source is open for inspection and use, and you can use the concepts and snippets of code as you like, but if you have to ask the answer is that is probably not for you).

OK. Thanks for the answer. Well, I asked because apparently respinning Debian is quite complicated with live-wrapper and setting up a mirror, creating packages etc.
