Since I am new in antiX, I would like to know how to use the xdelta3 patches from 13.1 to 13.2. Will that be taken in account in the coming script to automate Menu changes, Connectshares changes, Rox enhancements, and Others? Thank you.

Make sure the antix.list is like the one in this post.

Make an antix.list file in etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with this contents. You need to do so as root. Use rox as root , navigate to etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and then right-click in space, new, blank file, name it antix.list.
Then do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
Code: Select all
# Use with Debian Wheezy repository. Set as default for antiX-13.2.
deb http://antix.daveserver.info/stable stable main
# Use with Debian Testing (or Sid) repositories.
#deb http://antix.daveserver.info/testing testing main

We all start somewhere and we have to learn. Do check the documentation that comes with antiX; it is quite good, and these forums are a good place where we can help if you miss something (but the more you learn by your own initiative, in the long run, you'll be able to do new and interesting things and gain a lot of satisfaction from it). We're here to help though, and thanks for asking, and thanks for using antiX!

I want to thank anticapitalist and dolphin for their help with antix 13.2. I have been using linux as a way to rehabilitate my mind. I started with Puppy Linux, but was learning nothing, and getting too confused. I used Crunchbang !# which really helped, but forced a high learning curve. I finally found antix, which is kind of a midpoint, but is helpful.
This forum has got to be the BEST for linux. The answers from the top ppl are straight forward, really explaininf things. The references actually help you to learn.
THANKS A LOT!

1st you need to boot up antix with the a different kernel.
then you can remove with
.
or if you prefer you can remove it with synaptic.
you will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove entries for the older kernel.
The wheezy repos should be in your debian.list sources file already, but here they are.

It is always nice to have another complementary friend join our forum; that's what makes this part of it fun and interesting. I wish you continued success as you use antiX and learn more about how to take advantage of what it has to offer.
I hope that the learning continues and that we are able to help wherever help is needed. Those other distributions are decent, too, but I agree that antiX is a nice blend of features and capabilities, flexible enough to let you do with it whatever works best for each individual interest and need.jdmeaux1952 wrote:I want to thank anticapitalist and dolphin for their help with antix 13.2.
