===============================

 

This manual raw copy procedure will work on most pure Debian Distro Custom Builds but, you have to use Watt13OS LIVE ISO Calamares Installer. Others like Q4OS and Sparkylinux have crazy advanced scripts; Tested on:

 

Requires Multiple Linux Partitions:

  • Partition to build MX Linux

  • Partition to save custom filesystem.squashfs file

  • Optional Partition to install Remastered MX Linux. 

  • Auto Mount Scripts (2 scripts) are needed to remount remote location of filesystem.squashfs file.

Auto Scripts are shown below below:

  • Must use different username in Calamares (can not be same username as used in custom build.

NOTE:  Do not install custom filesystem.squashfs file from USB to USB as it takes a VERY LONG TIME that way.

The Custom fileystem.sqaushfs file should always be located on a hard drive partition or Network Drive.
