No, I'll give that a try. Thanks.

... didn't work. Looks like it didn't format the usb stick before installing the iso. Didn't show the name of the distro, just said live usb. Any ideas why?
Suse Studio Imagewriter in Manjaro has been the one that always works. Maybe I can get yours to work.

Uhm... what are you trying to do?
Installing MX onto a USB stick or making a liveUSB to install MX onto a harddrive?

Re: Good usb burner
What are you trying to do? [Ninja'ed by Eadwine] If you want to make an MX or antiX live-usb then (mx-)live-usb-maker is the way to go. If you want to make a live-usb of another distro, we offer the "dd" option to just copy the .iso file byte for byte to the usb-stick. There is also the dd-live-usb command line script that does the same thing.
There should be no need to clear or format the usb stick before doing the dd. The live-usb-maker also does a good job of removing all partitioning before it creates a live-usb. If, for any reason, you want to clear out all of the partitions of a usb-stick, you should be able to with this command:
Code: Select all
sudo live-usb-maker partition-clear
One way to check (besides try to boot the usb) is to run the command:
Code: Select all
lsblk -o name,fstype,size,label
Code: Select all
NAME FSTYPE SIZE LABEL
[...]

├─sdd1 iso9660 956M antiXlive
└─sdd2 vfat 3.3M antiX-uefi

Re: Good usb burner
Thank you. I was trying to make a usb of another distro. I'll try your advice. Can you install Suse Studio Imagewriter on MX? It's very good.
Re: Good usb burner
Suse is not Debian based, right?

Re: Good usb burner
Search for imagewriter in synaptic, without the word SUSE. It might be in the repos, IIRC
But I don't see why the dd option in mx live USB writer won't work
