the system crushes occasionaly after the boot. the mouse pointer hardly moves but buttons don't work as well as the keyboard.
it crushed also when i was dragging-moving the"rox-term" window.

sometimes when i open an application it stays minimized on the tray and it can't raise by just clicking on the tab, i have to maximize it and then resize it.

i hope there will be an easy solution since i've been having a lot of problems until now.
i have reinstalled antix from a verified cd.

edit: it seems that when i boot in icewm, it's perfect...

thank god i got a message from the grub while booting!
at least now i have something to look for.
it was an"error 18" something about cylinder etc. after some googling i found out that the problem must be the new 170g hdd i had installed.
in the bios it shows 137g or something! it's a limitation of bios.
a possible solution would be to just flash it with a new firmware but i'll try to just split the hdd with"gparted"
do you guys have any idea about it?

If your Linux installation is towards the end of your Hard Disk the easiest way to fix the limitations of legacy GRUB is to install GRUB2

thanks! i hope you had told me earlier because i have re-pertitioned the hdd and placed everything in the first 100g part.
in the new installation i couldn't install the grub and after i booted i got the message"error 15" because it wasn't installed.
i used the livecd again to fix grub but it wouldn't do any good either so i just reinstalled only the /root partition and the installation went perfect untill the end!
i hadn't have much time untill now to say if everything works fine
but i would like to know what's the difference of grub and grub2 so maybe i can install it just in case...

If you run a few different kernels (such as the

) & the MEPIS Kernel which come with Antix then GRUB2 is helpful as it automatically detects each kernel & creates your Boot Menu entries. It also detects Windows installations (if you dual boot) & adds a menu entry.

When you first install GRUB2 it will recommend you"chainload" your existing /boot/grub/menu.lst as a safe way to boot. After you have booted once & confirmed everything is ok you can reinstall GRUB2 to the MBR (without chainloading) by: (where sdx is the letter that represents your disk drive)

If you install GRUB2 a simple way to set the background image for the Boot Menu is to copy a jpeg / png image into /boot/grub & run:
