I get that (starting on 19.4) , which is the reason I brought it up. On both of my machines, windows and linux it downloads 21.2 no 19.4 even though the file says as much.

How is changing BIOS settings going to change what Debian gets installed???
It wont, I was referring to the fact that he said he installed the latest link on the sourceforge site (MX Linux 21.2), which would be based on Debian 11. So it kind of shoots the Subject Topic's install guide in the foot from the beginning is all I meant.
Not nice.
Wasn't my intent. I apologize if that is how it came across :-/
For me this is drinking from the fire hose. I know enough to try, which is not fun at times.
This whole dialect/architecture is very tough to troubleshoot for rookies and I am giving it my all but there is LOTS of struggle. Even following this well thought out and put together guide I am at a less than 50% success rate for each command.
I blew off the Mesa Flash issue (I don't even have a Mesa card to use yet) and moved on to the linuxcnc part which fails again for various reasons.
Where I am currentyl...

Last one for the night.
Mesaflash fails here because "pkg-config can't find libmd"
root@mx:/home/ckcplasma# sudo apt install libpci-dev pkg-config build-essential git

build-essential is already the newest version (12.9).
git is already the newest version (1:2.30.2-1).

pkg-config is already the newest version (0.29.2-1).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

For the key issue, this is from my install guide (and I 2x checked it works over here):
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key EF1B07FEE0EE663E
For the mesa flash issue, looks like they changed a dependency and I missed it. I am considering just adding a link to their instructions so they stay current, but in the meantime you just need to install the libmd-dev package. So:
sudo apt install libmd-dev
As for the ISO download, I'm not sure what to say there. It downloads the correct one over here. Maybe try going to this link: sourceforge.net/projects/mx-linux/files/Old/ Then click the MX-19.4 folder, then click MX-19.4_x64.iso (it's about 16 lines down).

I will attempt to download the 19.4 file specifically from your link.
It's all part of the process, these things seem to be so fluid creating a static guide is substantial chore. I do appreciate the work put into it and helping me learn the process.

I am sure there are more hurdles to come but I have QtPlasmac up and running.

I am trying to get connected to my 7i96S but while I can ping it I don't seem to be able to find it with Mesaflash.
I am not sure where I am at in the process though, if it should work now or do I need to complete other steps.
I can make a new thread but I wanted to exhaust my options first.

Any tips how can I force cpu governor to "performance" permanently? At the moment after reboot, the system reverts back to "powersave". As I dont know where this is loaded at boot, I would rather not just try a "random" file after googling.
