I'm delighted that you got a LiveUSB to work.

I'm sorry we scared you. That is a bug. Can you post the output of"inxi -F"? That warning should only appear when you try to run 64-bit software on a 32-bit computer. This feature is brand new. Once it is working properly it will help avoid some problems where antiX mysteriously doesn't boot.

Now I need to learn the mystery of editing Grub ... which I must say, causes mild panic. I've lost several installs of Linux in the past due to some weird grub update glitch that came through apt-get updates,

Apt-get update should not affect the LiveUSB boot loader.

As for editing Grub, there should be an"F7 Save" menu in the boot loader, it will edit grub for you automatically by saving whatever settings you typed in and whatever menu selections you made. This is also brand new. Please let us know if that menu doesn't appear. If it does appear, you may be the first non-developer to actually use it.

P.S. BitJam -- if you have a neat way of cloning or duping the install to a USB thumb drive, say 16 or 32 gb size, I'm here to listen !

This is on my todo list but it won't happen before the antiX-13 release which is tentatively scheduled for first half of May.

BTW: if you are able to make an .iso file (and a LiveUSB) then there is no need for you to"save_work".
