Just realized there are no language layouts! My main distro needs them when I write to my friend's connections.

This deals more with installation, but I would assume if you have an option for boot priority (F12 or F8) you'll be able to get a USB stick running.

For some reason GRUB did not install properly and defaulted to KXStudio GRUB, from which I could boot MX-16. That was easily fixed by reinstalling GRUB from the booted MX.
Main points are -
- GPT partition scheme unless you want to use Legacy (CSM) boot.
- Disable Secure Boot
- Disable Fast Boot
- Check for Windows-centric settings.




For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.

Thanks guys. My pc is set up for dual booting with linux. I am trying to run MX-16 as a LIVE USB on it which is not working. Your information has I think helped. The version of MX-16 I have is a 32Bit as that is all the Dell can run and so that is what I have on the usb. Seems that 32Bit versions need LEGACY bios and my Skylake pc is set up as UEFI.
So I will have a fiddle and see if i can get this to work.

Scenario: All Linux Environment
Use Steps 1 & 2 for installation preparation.
Step 3: Linux Installation
The MX-15 32-bit Linux installer requires the following UEFI firmware configuration. Make your changes by access your UEFI firmware Setup utility.
- Legacy BIOS Boot ON. Enable BIOS compatibility boot mode (e.g., CSM, Legacy BIOS OPROM).

"isolinux.bin missing or corrupt"
tried writing the image to the stick twice and the .iso passes its MD5 check.
What am I missing folks. Apart from several grey cells.

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984

I'll give it another whirl. I only want to see what MX-16 runs like from a usb-c/3 usb stick on a modern Skylake set up just out of interest.

I think I will try another download of the 64 bit to see if that cures the problem.
