I've got this going after a reinstall -- you're right, jdmeaux, it's going to replace nearly every package on the system when you switch from the"stable" packages that are distributed in the .iso to the corresponding"testing" packages. Previous versions of antiX (it's my understanding) older than 13 wouldn't have done this; they were distributed with testing version files in the first place. The way I read it, 13.x is done this way so that the as-installed version will be more reliable on systems that may not get updated often (or at all).
