I've created a live usb with a snapshot. And now I'd like to install the snapshot on my device, possible? Thanks!

Yes, of course. Just install it as you normally would. If there's no installer launcher/icon on the desktop just run

sudo minstall

in a terminal to start the installer.

Code: Select all

minstall-pkexec

would be the preferred method to start the installer on MX. otherwise Xfce/thunar's automount might not be disabled and you may get errors when formatting partitions.

Ah, thanks for that info. I bookmarked this post to save it in my bag of tricks.
