but only wants to gave an iso in usb without persistence, this is not the goal. You just want to burn a pendrive with the iso of antix.

ah sorry, the iso recording is a flash drive or cd? the dd command in the case would serve to the pendrive and not to CD.

After waaaaaaaaaaay too much jumping around (isolinux… plop… wait, i reinstalled and… xfburn)
which led to confusion, and offbase speculation, I have now deleted many of the posts from this topic, including a few of my own.Collectively, we have covered all reasonable approaches to solving the problem
and, ultimately, Toshiba Satellite is a “known problem child” : http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-1944957/satellite-boot-usb-disc.html
I’m marking the topic (unsolved), and closing.

I’m marking the topic (unsolved), and closing.I just opened it and marked it as solved. Don’t understand why it was closed or edited. Maybe a bad spot in the universe?
Edit: the reason I took that action. The thread was marked pink. Under view latest posts. I was worried no body would be able to read the thread because the original post was closed. But replies were left open.
Not blaming or picking on anybody.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsTopics marked “closed” are visible to everyone, including guests.
You can confirm this by copying-to-clipboard the url in this link https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/spectre-and-meltdown-and-a-new-iso-snapshot/
then logout, then paste the url into addressbar to view as a guest.
After viewing as guest, if you navigate to https://www.antixforum.com/forums/forum/new-users/new-users-and-general-questions/
you can also confirm the closed topic also remains listed (visible to guest) within the original “topics” page.Agreed, the current css applied to post#1 of a closed topic is difficult to read (until/unless its text is mouse selected and highlighted).
“Don’t understand why it was closed or edited”
Maybe because, in the default view, the rambling off-course posts which had been marked trash weren’t displayed.

I’ll try to sum up the topic as an attempt to dissolve the confusion.
I started this topic because of a LiveCD boot failure. It seems to be a cd-drive burning capability problem.
Roky gave me the idea of installing PLOP to hard drive and I found it could be useful in case of a cd-drive totally breaking down, but I avoided the idea because of the complications I met. Skidoo is right that this part of conversation is off-topic. I should have asked about it in a new topic, but I hadn’t known yet the problems I would have met.
The conversation about LiveUSB issues seems to me off-topic, too.
Finally, I got (from a skidoo’s question) the idea that a slower burning speed could solve the problem and I posted about something it seems to me as an Xfburn speed list bug. I don’t know if I should create a new topic about it.
Hope this helps a little.

Is your laptop so old you cannot boot from usb? My Dell laptop from the same period (2003 and similar hardware) can boot easily from USB. antiX 17 is working fine on it.
Concerning my Toshiba Satellite, MX17 loves it (although idle CPU use is too high in my opinion)Is your laptop so old you cannot boot from usb?
Boot options of ACPI BIOS version 1.30 are only these: HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, LAN.
My Dell laptop from the same period (2003 and similar hardware) can boot easily from USB. antiX 17 is working fine on it.
The installed system on the Toshiba laptop (with the problematic CD-drive) is antiX 15.1. I’m testing antiX 17 on the much more older Compaq (celeron) laptop and it seems to work fine, but I suppose it would be better to stay on-topic to avoid a new confusion.

Ok. It depends on maker and bios. So you’re good to go with PLOP (eventhough I didn’t know it before this topic). And you’re right about off topic.
