Step one was easy. I rewatched Dolphin's videos and printed out the video descriptions.

====================================
Finding my cd's of antix 13.1-core was harder. __{{emoticon}}__ (I have too many extra cd's hanging around.) But I got started. I already knew that the 3.7.10-gnu-antix.3-486-smp kernel was going to need to be changed, but I figured I would do that later. And I had already partitioned my HD with several 20Gb ext4 partitions for linux with MX-14. __{{emoticon}}__ __{{emoticon}}__
It wasn't brain surgery. __{{emoticon}}__ (Follow the Yellow Brick Road. Follow the yellow brick road.) I simply followed the steps Dolphin outlined. I figured my best bet was to load up everything as I went. And once I had a"working" gui, I would then change the kernel to something newer. I just made sure I used the SAME partition everytime. (Don't even ask how many times I screwed up my extended partition by forgetting this one. I had to put up a bulletin board next to this laptop just for post-it notes.)
Finally, I got my desktop working. __{{emoticon}}__ I started trying out various programs, and found a big clitch. NO SOUND! __{{emoticon}}__ WTF. I did everything"by the book". No sound on YouTube. No sound in vlc. No sound on any music players. Did I miss something? Had I goofed up? __{{emoticon}}__ __{{emoticon}}__
It was the obvious and the one you forget about. YES, I did have sound, But it was turned LOW. __{{emoticon}}__ HOW, you ask? It appears that the program alsamixergui has the sound levels set about 70% so it won't blow your ears out. Re-adjusting the levels to 100% solved my sound problems. __{{emoticon}}__
Updated the kernel to 3.14.2-486 i686 32 bit. Lean and mean. __{{emoticon}}__ Only 94 Mb memory used (and this is while I am typing this.) Now to put this on a cd as bootable ans try it out on the old JUNKBOX.
