3.7.8 kernel available for 32 nad 64, gnu versions as well.

In the antiX repo.

If you use nvidia, sgfxi might fail at first and suggext running sgfxi -f
This workes for me.

No idea about proprietary amd drivers.

Please test and post results, positive and negative.

Also, I uploaded latest Ted and mupdf. Mupdf now has fill height/widthe support.

Doh, for us base users without synaptic package manager. Exact name of kernel would be awfully nice to have __{{emoticon}}__

Code: Select all

# apt-cache policy Linux-3.7.8-antix-i486-image
N: Unable to locate package Linux-3.7.8-antix-i486-image
N: Couldn't find any package by regex 'Linux-3.7.8-antix-i486-image'
I know. I'm a pain in the butt sometimes. __{{emoticon}}__

We don't need no stinkin' kernel names:

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache search linux-image-.*-antix
It is a regular expression, not a file glob so you need".*" not just"*".
