Howdy,

I'm wanting to know if I can install antix onto a usb flash drive and then run antix from the usb flash drive.

Thanks

you can run live with persistence, which is what I do. Just make a liveUSB and boot with a persistence option enabled and the boot scripts will set it up. If you use a ext4 filesystem on the usb, persistence file creation is very very fast.

this video is for mx edition, but the process is very similar.

Just to add to D_O's usual excellent advice, it is possible to install to a USB drive as if it was a HDD. Just double-check the installer is pointing to the right place!
