For this you need: 8GB USB, antiX Linux, 64bit Linux Mint, Rufus in DD Mode.
This guide presumes you are wiping the contents of the drive entirley.
This process was painful to troubleshoot, this is why im making this guide.
NOTE: antiX linux does not currently support wifi, thats why we dont use it. NOTE2: You can use a 32 bit version of mint like LMDE6, but the sound will not work.
1:Go ahead and download a normal iso of 64 bit linux mint
2:Put this iso into DD Mode, MBR and BIOS / UEFI in rufus. This is crucial.
3:Hold power + volume up until a boot menu appears, select the USB and continue to install normally.
1:Download antiX 32 bit full iso, and use the same settings from Mint to write it to the usb
2:Boot to the USB again, and open a terminal window, run 'lsblk', you should see 2 partitions on a drive begging with MMCBLK
3:The partition that has 512MB is your EFI partiton, the partition that is larger is the boot partition.
4:Open a file manager and click on the efi partition of the ANTIX live usb, and open a 2nd file manager of the EFI Partion on the MMC.
4:Copy over the file BOOTia32.efi from the Antix to the MMC, deleting the one in MMC. Also delete the 64bit EFI file that isnt GRUB, as it causes issues.
5:While in the EFI section, open grub.cfg and enter the following:
NOTE:i use mmcblk1p2, as that is my boot drive [big one], replace this with your boot drive.
set timeout = 3
set default = 0
menuentry "Linux Mint" {
search --no-floppy --set=root --file /boot/vmlinuz
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img
}
6:All being well, once rebooted with the USB removed, this should now start into Linux Mint, well done you.
