For issues with MX that has been modified from the initial install. Example: adding packages that then cause issues.

But, I have a question about how to resize the rootfs.
Because, when I tried to, it told me I couldn't because the rootfs was mapped and mounted
You can resize the rootfs if you boot without persistence enabled.

You can also remaster all the contents of the rootfs back into the main linuxfs file, essentially alowing you to create a new empty rootfs file because all the changes are now stored in the base linuxfs file. I've got.some videos on this on my channel. With regards to the live system, my antix videos also apply to mx.

Its.nice.seeing you getting into the innards of the system Nite Coder.

You can do that in MX on the live USB? Wow! I'm beginning to wonder if there's anything MX can't do.
