[ale] MXLinux install issues

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

I have MXLinux live usb on a 8GB SDCard and it runs fine.

Here is what I am thinking.  (Don't flame me please)

As per DJPfulio's suggestion, I will use tools like ventoy to create a data
partition on the same SD card.
(yes this was mentioned in last weekend's meetup call and I did make a note
but could not connect the dots on its usability since it was mentioned in
the context of Multiboot, duh me)

MXLinux Live is only  1.9GB in size.  I can create a 4GB data partition on
the same SD card and use that.

I also respect Wayne's time posting the 64GB link on Amazon for Lexar with
such small form factor.
