You need to set up the disk partitions manually, if you want LUKS. Known issue, which - as I understand it - would required a kernel patch.

You can boot the Debian installer from an SD card, but it will fail. This should be faster anyway, if you use a decent USB stick and one of the USB 3 ports. You need to use a USB stick, not an SD card.

This is because I want to have LUKS encryption for / and trying to retrofit that to a Raspbian image looked like a pain (if possible at all).įortunately, people cleverer than I am have done the legwork here and, while it's not trivial, it's possible.

64 bit kernels: dd bs=4M if=MX-19_圆4.I'm documenting this for myself as much as anyone else, but if it helps, great.

32 bit kernels: dd bs=4M if=MX-19_386.iso of=/dev/sde & sync.

Let us assume your USB is identified as sde (change as needed for your system), then copy and paste the appropriate line for your kernel:

If the graphic USB creators fail, use one of the command line options below as Root.

If you want to create a USB on a Windows base, we suggest you use Rufus, which supports our bootloader.

Other graphical USB creators that write a Read-Only image of the ISO onto USB (e.g., openSUSE Imagewriter or Mint USB Image Writer) may also be used to create a Live USB, but it will lack the advanced live features available to MX.

Users of other Linux distributions can download and run our Live USB Maker appimage right from their current distro to create a full-featured Live MX USB from any standard ISO.

A full-featured bootable (Live) USB can be made from an ISO by using MX’s Live USB Maker tool.
