No, please, no offence was taken at all and I do hope my rather colourful reply did not ruffle your feathers too much — I was trying to have a little bit of banter but my social skills are somewhat lacking so that is always a risky move.

:mrgreen:

EDIT: to stay on topic: the MX-17 ISO image does appear to support UEFI booting:

Code: Select all

alpine:~$ parted Downloads/MX-17_x64.iso print

It's a cross-platfrom application.
I've known that liveusb install before unetbootin since on windows before came here.
How could many linux ppl forget about it?
Debian was lack unetbootin from jessie, stretch long ago
download liveusb install .deb file & install would be piece of cake on debian jessie, stretch.

No problem. I am Aspie. However I have lived long enough and had enough painful experience to learn some ways to exist along with the normals. Banter is fine and yours is generally intelligent and that is appreciated. Sometimes I chuckle at what you write to others. I have a lot of respect for your technical skill, I don't know even half of what you know about video cards. Thumbs up.

And now, before someone accuses me of "white knighting" you, I'll STFU. ;-)

It is. Liveusb install can be installed via

Code: Select all

gdebi live-usb-install-2.5.12-all.deb
or one can open

Code: Select all

zxvf live-usb-install-2.5.12.tar.gz
and run from inside ~/live-usb-install with

Code: Select all

./live-usb-install.py
. Either way, while you can do practise runs as user you need to be root for it to stick.

As Innovate noted, Liveusb install is a Windows application that has been Linuxized.

[quote="Thorny"]. . . I've seen quite a few posts about early UEFI on older machines that are not standards compliant./quote]

That explains a lot. Thanks. I suspect that much has changed since the first time I made a live-CD. For one thing, distros have become bloated and won't fit on a CD, thus the USB. To put this in perspective, my first Linux (Caldera) came on a single 3 1/2" floppy disk that I found in the back of a magazine.

I should thank you for you to confirm review how far better it is. Now I'm confident with this tool.
In fact, I was doubt how far it's good/bad from unetbootin it's been underrated so long no review until finally today.
I was planned to choose pre-install between unetbootin vs liveusb install on my custom build debian but hesitate until now.

There're many rare gems of these apps floating every where on internet & github.
