Hi,

I had some trouble testing connectshares. I found out that I couldn't even ping another machine in my home network. I needed sudo ping. In the end connectshares worked fine, but I still wonder why I can't ping. Or is this standard security practice in linux? Btw: very good dolphin-video on that topic.

On a very different topic: when installing q4wine, the packagemanager automatically removes the antix-installer. Is that installer ever needed, when not running a live system?

(added remark: I checked in Antix CC, and the Firewall is in OFF mode. Nevertheless, I can't ping my router without sudo).

Just showing you i do not have the antix-installer on this full install on this netbook.
If you wish to keep it. I guess you could rename it to antix-installerbk and the unistaller won't find it then.

As far as your other questions. I have no connect shares so have no idea. Same for q4wine which I do not run. I run with firewall off because my router has a firewall already.

Just to be thorough.

Code: Select all

locate antix
does not find anything related to the antix-installer on my netbook either.

The only case I can think of when it might be needed is if you use the iso-snapshot program to make a live iso from your installed system and you want to use the snapshot for doing an installation. I do not know if the iso-snapshot will install the installer for you or not.
