      If this created the USB in dd mode (read only), then the problems start there (as you will not be able to save live changes to the 12 GBs USB directly).

      If possible, create a folder inside your 2300GBs with whatever name you want and try again from antiX live, after selecting F5-“p-static-root”, write
      pdir=NAME
      where NAME is the name of the folder you created in the 300GBs HDD. Then connect the 300GBs USB device and hit ENter, and see if it works and created and uses a separate folder for a different machine.

      Because you have created the antiX 12 GBs USB device with the LinuxMint (dd mode) tool, you cannot take advantage of antiX’s smart system for saving separate hardware configurations inside the USB device (which will mke it possible to make the USB work on any machine and remember the hardware configuration of each).

      If possible (and you are interested in using the advanced antiX live system capabilities), boot the 12GBs antiX USB (only, no persistence) and select the F4 option “toram” to boot the full antiX system (without persistence) to RAM, once it boots, then use the live USB maker inside the live antiX system to “clone” the running live system (no need to search for an ISO) to the 12GBs USB device an overwrite it with a writable antiX live system. After this reboot and it can save state info.

      Another possibility is booting the 12GBs system (without toram) and use the live USB maker tool to “clone” it to the 300GBs system. It will remove all info inside the HD but prepare all the antiX goodness, so you can boot directly from it instead of needing the 12GBs antiX system. You will then be able to save the live Boot menu changes, so you don’t need to configure them each time, and it will save state machine information inside, so that it takes full advantage of the portability of the system. And the persistence changes will be saved inside the antiX folder, as it usually is done.

        when I want to install create a new “Persistence” test folder as root, I get ‘error exit status 1’ message.

        Instead, within the file manager, try:

        File >> RootWindow
        then, from within RootWindow, perform the “Create New Folder” (or whatever it’s labeled) action

        Alternatively, from a terminal emulator command prompt, try:

        sudo mkdir /live/boot-dev/Persistence
