Can’t create bootable USB with Rufus

[Member dazz]

Hi
I am trying to install antilinux on an old Asus eeePC R101 with 2G RAM.
I tried following the instructions here using Rufus to create an ISO/DD image on a Windows machine.
My version of Rufus is: Version 2.18 (Build 1213)

It appears there is a mismatch between the Rufus version and the downloadable versions of antiX.
Screen shots of the Rufus error messages are attached.
The resulting ISO/DD usb won’t boot.

Hi
Not an error. asking permission to go online, what a well-behaved rufus. it is normal.
press Yes for success. after the rufus application is upgraded to current.
another thing that is normal is for rufus to offer to upgrade to the latest version when it is run; first it advises of updates available. So i am guessing that you are on a pc from eight years ago that is not online?
get the recent rufus verson to succeeed with the recent antiX iso.

Saying yes, doesn’t solve the problem. Rufus does not find the files it goes on-line to find. It appears that the antiX ISO image needs to be updated to work with the latest version of Rufus.

I have completed the antiX install by using the default Ubuntu image/ISO creator. No error messages.

The specific reason I needed a new OS was because my old unsupported Leeenux OS would not install PuTTY ver 0.74 to replace ver 0.67. I even tried to build from source.
I now have PuTTY ver 0.74 installed and running under antiX. All good.

Hi
I have succeeded, but not with Rufus and the antiX website instructions.
I suggest someone else tries the same procedure. Download antiX and try using Rufus to create a USB stick bootable disk. If what I see is not unique, then remove the references to Rufus from the website, until a fix is done.

Hi dazz
We have a brother name’ rufus; his Mother’s name is panz.

Thirty-three months has passed since our previous trial of rufus making a usb live antiX boot.
(I think that our son has done it more recently..) We recommend antiX-full.

Installed the rufus version TODAY’S.
antiX 22 Base x64 iso ;md5sum bdc19b660ce781cd13d3a87aab88ba89

rufus write mode Image, success, the usb, it, antiX, boots.
rufus write mode dd , , , success, the usb, it, antiX, boots.

Another method I find very useful. EtchDroid USB writer
Requires a reasonably powerful Android Phone.
But not Samsung with OneUI 3.0+, recent Huawei and OnePlus devices
which tend to hang.

Download from FDroid, is very useful to create a bootable linux USB Stick.
Got me out of trouble a couple of times.
Homepage is https://etchdroid.depau.eu/ Sets analytics cooky unless do not
track enabled. Er illegal in EU.

It does not require crazy permissions or call home.

For some phones ISO 2 USB https://sourceforge.net/projects/iso2usb-project/
is a better option. Not been updated for a long time but works fine on my non
google Huawei Phone.
