2. If you want to use antiX as a rolling release, ie just keep upgrading, no need to install a newer version, I suggest installing the latest liquorix kernel. To do so, enable the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list, install the liquorix keys files (you can use synaptic for this) and then
# apt-get update
# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.34-xxx (whatever it is for the liquorix version, again synaptic will help) and its headers.
I enabled the repos for liquorix in /etc/apt/sources.list by removing '#'

Then I used synaptic to get headers and image

Waited for the complete download.

#apt-get update

Then:

Code: Select all

root@(none):~# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.34-0.dmz.10-li 2.6.34-41
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package linux-image-2.6.34-0.dmz.10-li
root@(none):~# 
I can't understand why its not installing. Synaptic pulled it succesfully.

If you used synaptic than it should already be installed.

Do

Code: Select all

# update-grub 
and then post the output of

Code: Select all

 cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

Oh I see, so now I'm running the new kernel. The information on the data on the screen says 2.6.32.6x.x. That's why I doubted the new kernel was installed.

What are the advantages of this kernel please?

After I boot into the new kernel, my wireless was gone and does not even detect for me to configure in Ceni.
I have reinstalled the former kernel for the meantime. I will uninstall the same in synaptic and also comment the 2.6.34.x.x in /etc/apt/sources.list since I am fairly satified with kernel 2.6.32.x.x.

Thank you!
