Thank you for your quick replay.
In your procedure you mean a permanent installation on a SSD ?
My use will be to have a portable SSD with antiX with the possibility to start in different machines and persistence of data and files.
Your installation is useful for this scope ? Or I have to create a live-persistent installation ?

Re: AntiX on SSD external disk with persistence
when you create with dd, you are creating a read-only file system. basically you've turned your 1TB SSD into a DVD-ROM.
You should probably use our mx-live-usb-maker to create the live system. use the "full-featured" mode to produce a live system that is still on a writable-filesystem, and then the persitence options at boot will work fine.

Re: AntiX on SSD external disk with persistence
I understand ...
Could you please suggest me a mx-live-usb-maker from debian repos ?
How many partitions I need to create on SSD before copying the iso image ?

Re: AntiX on SSD external disk with persistence
I should think so. But I think dolphin_oracle is much better positioned to answer this. And maybe the advantages of the one or the other method.marcoC wrote: ↑Fri Jan 25, 2019 1:23 pm Thank you for your quick replay.

I would be very interested in this as well since I am also in the process of making a full featured live install with persistence but on a usb flash drive an I got practically step for step instructions and very many useful suggestions in another thread: viewtopic.php?f=108&t=48049
Re: AntiX on SSD external disk with persistence
You should take a look at MX User Manual. You can find it in Whisker menu. It will give you the info you need.
Also watch dolphin_oracle's channel: http://www.youtube.com/runwiththedolphin
Running a live usb system with persistence is something you have to research just like everything else in life. Luckily there is good documentation available. More info: https://antixlinux.com/the-most-extensi ... he-planet/

Re: AntiX on SSD external disk with persistence
Looks like marcoC is running straight Debian.
Can the MX tools be installed on straight Debian?
