Under""select distribution and vendor" specify the debian 4 package and download. Do you know how to install a downloaded package using the terminal? If not we would be happy to guide you through those simple steps as well.

No, I don't know how to install using the terminal but would certainly like to try.

To install any package that is *.deb, do the following:
- Open a terminal.
- Become root by typing su and then your root password. Your password won't show while you are typing, but it will be there; just press Enter.

- if you need to change to the directory that you have downloaded your .deb file, type cd Documents where Documents is the directory name.

Then to install, type:
dpkg -i *.deb

If you don't want to type the full name of the package, just type the first few letters and then press the tab key and the rest of the name will appear and then you can press Enter to install.

Thanks for the help, opera is now installed. However I can't find it in the fluxbox menu anywhere but I can use it with the run command. How can I add it to the menu.

If you have antiX-M7.2 there is an excellent FAQ that answers this question and others.
It really is well worth reading and the authors spent a lot of time on it to try and make antiX as easy as possible.

If you don't have M7.2, the answer is also here:

except you start from menu ->Settings->Config-user and choose edit menu.

Quick and easy.

win+r for a run command or right click>>menu>>run.
Add this where you want it. Probably under browser.
Save and close and Opera should now be in the menu.

Thanks for the help, I now have opera listed in the menu under net.
