antix full should also fit on a cd

I am not quite sure about upgrading from base to full, but I would think that is also possible

No, antiX-full is 723 MB, too big to burn a CD.

Do I install antiX-M11 and upgrade to antiX-13?

Thank you

Download and burn it on cd. It fits on my 700MB -CDR disks just fine.
Do not forget to mdsum.

You can probably upgrade base to full though also.

Give us a

Code: Select all

inxi -F
and a

Code: Select all

inxi -r
report first though. Then be patient since it is the weekend and some other members inclucing Anti maybe may give you the command syntax to dist-upgrade from base to full install. We need your specs and repos though first for the command syntax to use.

PS. I run a AntiX11 base install and boy, do I learn how to dance in linux with it. __{{emoticon}}__

You need to italicize or put a space between the / and etc.

Thank you for your advice.

Good morning, with sun !
yes, inxi -F !!
I beg your pardon, I write with google translator !
I installed antiX-13-full, it is much better than antiX-base-13 because it has a bar emenus footer.
I would send you the results of inxi -F and inxi -r ... but forbidden!
How ?

You should be able to 'cut & paste' from the terminal into your posting.

To post a reply with inxi -F or inxi -r, use the red POST REPLY near the bottom of the page. This will put you into Full Editor mode. You need to"Copy-and-paste" the results you get in the Terminal and select Code to post it.

The forum software has a minor bug in it. Whenever you try to type the path of a program, it will give you an error message. You need to leave a space between the / and first word ( as in / etc/boot/conky) . Anytime you get the Permission Denied warning, go back and simply add a space.
