From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

thanks mx linux is very nice OS.
but getting the same error and live log install is very nice.
What are you using to create the bootable installer? Rufus may have options to help with this.
Also, MX includes a bunch of system rescue tools. If grub-install doesn't work by myself, maybe chroot would help?
The MX community forums might be a good place to ask, too. Lots of power users there.
