I just started out with antiX and I have no idea how to install or remove packages. I tried running Synaptic from the command line and no luck-I also investigated the metapackage installer, enabled non-free and contrib, hit install and apparently a bunch of stuff was downloaded and installed but it wasn't listed anywhere in the metapackage installer window.
Is there a synaptic package manager in antiX? Says in the FAQ there's one, but I don't think its there.

Hello:

Synaptic works in Antix pretty much the way it works in othe systems. In order to find it:

Using fluxbox: Settings>Control Center>System>Manage Packages (enter your root password when prompted).

Using ice-wm: either click on the tools icon to bring up control center or
left click to bring up menu>Desktop>Control Center === the rest is the same.

You can also using command line, and use apt-get if you wish.

I hope this helps.

Pedro

Ah ha! Thank you Pedro! Found it just like you said.

After a while, after you get confortable with synaptic, read the
