I am attempting to install MX 19 64 bit on a dell vostro 260 with 250 gb hd and 4 gb ram. After hitting F4 and typing sudo mininstall and then entering ‘demo’ as the password it is not accepted. What am I missing or doing incorrectly?

it’s minstall, not mininstall.

Also, don’t start minstall with «sudo minstall» it doesn’t work well in MX-19, use the icon or type minstall-pkexec

. Also hint F2 before for the right language/keybord . I already have this behavior with my azerty keybord (instead US querty) . so password «demo» becomes «de,o» in this case 😉

For root and root password (for azerty & quety) it is OK for both.

I started root user and typed ‘minstall -pkexec. I told the install program to auto install using the entire disk. Clicked ‘yes’ to format sda for MX-Linux. After that I get a message, «Failed to format required partitions». I have gotten this far 2 or 3 times.

Just to clarify it’s «minstall-pkexec» in one word (-pkexec is part of the name it’s not an option)

Probably you did that but just to clarify for people who read this. If you have an installation failure please post here the installation log: /var/log/minstall.log
