    Hi anticapitalista,

    Thanks for response.

    So, all of those differences are attributable to BIOS vs UEFI and/or MBR vs GPT. I was hoping there were specific adjustments I could make in a persistent liveUSB that would at least reduce the 5 minute blank period, just before the desktop appears.

    Do you have any thoughts on whether one of those differences (BIOS/UEFI or MBR/GPT) might be mainly responsible.

    Rufus formats the USB so that it is (allegedly) compatible with either BIOS or UEFI system.

    I am planning to use GPT partitioning on this system after I empty the drive. That will be a BIOS/GPT combination, (unless that is likely to produce a problem installing or running antiX.

    I will look for a site that explains how the boot can be so affected by these differences.
