Going off of memory (without doing it again, as I never get it first try 😉 ) once you have made the partitions and extracted the iso to the partition you would
Mount the partition (typically sdb[0-9]) assuming sdb2 (would need to find out with blkid or fdisk -l
mkdir /mnt/sdb2 && mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/sdb2
Then see what directory the grub folder is in (/boot/grub/ I think)
find /mnt/sdb2 |grep -i “grub”
then install grub to the mbr of sdb
grub-install –boot-directory=/boot/grub /dev/sdb (it might be /mnt/sdb2/boot/grub)
then edit /mnt/sdb2/boot/grub/grub.cfg and add an entry to it like (please note sdb changes to sda as it will be the primary drive when you move it to the other computer)
`menuentry “Live For Install” {
set root='(hd0,msdos2)’
linux /antiX/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 bdev=/dev/sda2 quiet
initrd /antiX/initrd.gz
}
Edit: just noticed d.o. Has a video on frugal installs which should help
