lhtuun,

It is a good idea to boot from GParted media prior to installation and create your own partitions, for example:

sda1.....ext4.....root.....say,15gb
sda2....swap....1.5gb
sda3....ext4....../home.....remainder of drive.

Follow this guide:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/hands-...-distribution/

The interesting bit is where at 1c you should select Custom install on existing partitions.

Use sda at 1a and ignore 1b.

At 2a use:
root...sda1
swap....sda2
home...sda3

The numbering may change but it will be obvious which partition is which from the size.

Found this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp-fSkezw04 and after a few bumps in the road got MX 64-bit successfully installed.

Can connect to the Internet and everything looks go but have spent enough time on it today. Will start a new thread if I need more help. Thanks again.

"because the date and time are way off."

Yes, websites may know your local time is off. Almost ever distro has a way to set it from UTC to local time if you want it permanent across boots. So search how to correct that.
