I am Revisting ELive INSTALLATION on the old ACER Laptop

I installed this using a SD card mounted on USB Mount. I do not want to use 32 or 64 USB sticks. There are no 4 or 8GB sticks in Australia. I left all my USB sticks except 10 I shoved into my handbag.

Elive deliberately got the GRUB Boot Loader Wrong when installing but I know the workaround. These facts would be recorded in my book with grammar and Typo correction.

Cut and Paste is dangerous.

I know these guys for a long time from 32 bit time. During Installation they give DEAD ROPES that include Erasing the hatd disk with 0 and 1. 
I say no to all their dead ropes and do what I want to do. 
I gave my Google Email knowing very well, I had signed up with my original or the first Yahoo Mail long before Gmail.

I love its colouful Terminal.

It is SLOW compared ARCH and AV Linux Moksha Desktop but I prefer the easy pace im my old age with visual handicap especially colour blindness.

While it is testing my patience and visual handicap but my hearing is Excellent and I love music and use this distribution to listen to music. When I installed it in my NUC an year ago I listened to their old music with poor quality video (they did not have proper drivers for thr Integrated Graphic Card.

I was into Linux long before this distribution came into existence.
Nevertheless, these guys have done a Wonderful and Beautiful job.

Reaso for Install is to check with Bodhi Linux and AV Linux Moksha Desktop whicj is AntiX and MX Linux derivative.
Lat timeit took 2 and half hours and this time it is faster but I did not time it.

Thank You Elive Linux giys and girls and I am going to add a very favorable account in my book Linux Essentials.

By the way , Google AI is very helpful.

I  going to Network Install Debian on this Laptop soon.
My last Network Install was with TrueOS and BSD using CD in 2018 and I left all those CD and DVDs in CEYLON.
My Linux activities and Facebook activities would go on till POSON POYA or Full Moon Day. I won't go to moon even if they give me a FREE Ride.
 By the way, according to Elive Clock it is more than 50 minutes and still installing.
