Mr. Fixit Script Manual Update + MicroSD Boot help

[mlentink]

Thank you! 
First I must get the sdcard boot issue solved, and I've been googling for a couple of hours and found some pointers. I'va updated the initial mrfixit distro to the latest version, and will now try to flash a sdcard and boot from it. Keeping my fingers crossed. 

If you are having boot from SD issue once Manjaro is installed to eMMc then search the Manjaro forums I think that issue is a known problem.  This brings about the question of the newer PBP coming with Manjaro do they suffer the issue too?

Hi, thanks for the heads-up. It seems I had several bad cards, so bought a few new ones and that fixed the booting problem. Though I now have Manjarro/KDE running (I'm impressed!), it runs from sd-card, not the eMMC, so I can revert back to Debian by simply removing the sd-card and rebooting.  Being a long time Ubuntu user, I'd like to try ayufan s LXDE image first before commiting to eMMC.
