Thanks, do I need to encrypt the flash drive to be completely safe? Safe from what? An encrypted live-usb will make it very hard for someone to get to your data/system if they get their hands on your live-usb (when it's not running) but it won't make it and safer from internet attacks. If you are n...

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I ran
Code: Select all
dmesg
and yes the output is quite long and can't understand much of it.

You could trying running:

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep "^Memory"

to try to get just that one line. Or pipe the output through less and then poke around:

Code: Select all

dmesg | less

Thanks for the informative reply. :happy: I asked because I read in some thread I can't remember now, someone recommending on using Antix's and unless I'd misunderstood the whole thing, it is supposed be better for a low spec machine meaning better/lower resource usage. Maybe the only way to find o...

My question vis-a-vis MX18.1 is that since the setup utility's purpose is to boot any operating system it is pointed to, shouldn't it be possible to edit the boot function of the Live USB stick to add those boot parameters from the get go? If it is possible, where should I make the addition? The an...

If you someone is running a copy of MX that may contain malware from the previous link, would seeding from the new source also contain that malware? Do we all need to install a new copy of MX from the clean source before we start seeding from it? No. The malware is on the site itself, not in the is...

I'm stuck. Should I add the "ivrs_ioapic..." line directly into the live usb, and if so, where? Or should I wait and add it as a boot parameter to the grub menu? FWIW, the live usb was made this morning from a snapshot of a fully updated MX18. A snapshot won't help you with this (nor should it hurt...

I think openvpn is pre-installed in MX anyway. At least, when I search the stable repository in MX Package Installer for VPN I see that openvpn is greyed out indicating that it's already installed, and I don't recollect installing it myself. Yep. running: grep vpn /usr/share/antiX/installed-package...

It sounds like it is a problem with the graphics driver. A Google(linux HP Spectre X360) may show how others have solved this problem. You say you are booting legacy. There should be an "F6 Failsafe" menu in the bootloader screen. Press <F6> and then select "Safe Video". This might get you to a work...

You can have a portable guest for Virtualbox: I have done this with XP and expect it could be done with W7. (Who cares about W10?) This is a good idea! Even with Microsoft's blessing, I think making a live version of Windows would be hard to pull off. OTOH, GuiGuy's idea may be all you need. You le...

So I guess what I need to do is
Code: Select all
fallocate -l SIZE /path/to/shared_data/swapfile
and then the dd, the chmod and the rest of the commands

Only use "dd" if fallocate fails!
