Hello, This is my first post here.
I installed AntiX a couple of days ago. My machine is an old Dell Inspiron 1100 having trouble with all the bloated updates to Windows XP. I thought I would try Linux. Most distributions tried had trouble with the display but AntiX is fine.
I installed icewm with the win95 theme to make me feel at home. I have been using the classic theme in windows with the classic menu and explorer since windows 95 on other computer up to Win 7.
There are 3 minor things that an expert could probably clear up easily.
1) How do I change the desktop wallpaper. I cannot find a setting for this - very puzzling.
2) I have a bluetooth usb dongle attached, but again there is no bluetooth setting in the system. How do I setup the bluetooth?
3) The system automatically mounts a usb flashdrive formatted with Fat 16, but will not mount automatically a flashdrive with Fat 32 format. No problem mounting with 'pmount -t /dev/sdb1 /media/sub'. What do I need to do to make Fat 32 mount automatically also?
Thanking you

Key Largo is just too far for drinks for me. I make it easy for the wife hang out with grandkid in Austin this week, or when she wants to though.
Got a new bicycle out of the deal cuz she luvs me. So life is good. Not Spooky.

How do I change the desktop wallpaper. I cannot find a setting for this - very puzzling.

find ControlCentre in the desktop menu.
When cc opens, the"Choose Wallpaper" launcher is the first item (top of left column).

The system automatically mounts a usb flashdrive formatted with Fat 16, but will not mount automatically a flashdrive with Fat 32 format.
No problem mounting with 'pmount -t /dev/sdb1 /media/sub'. What do I need to do to make Fat 32 mount automatically also?

With the bootline arg (or menu option) automount=all, I would expect the Fat32 pendrive would be automounted.
Hmm, is it even possible to craft a rule allowing/disallowing mounting based on that (the format(s) of the partition(s) on a removable drive which is slated for mounting) ???

^--- coupla videos here thoroughly cover mounting howto

ps:
Why is the pendrive formatted FAT16? Even back in USB1.0 days, surely FAT32 would have been available.
(The only speculative FAT16 scenario I can think of: compatibility with an older game console, when ripping ROMs?)
(copying mapset data onto an low-end mapping/navigation handheld device? copying song/motion tracks onto a Teddy Ruxpin?)

Which version of antiX are you using? I guess base if you installed icewm.

The AntiX version I installed is 15 (full).
The wallpaper change was simple. I missed the button on the control panel.
I hoped that the the bluetooth setup would be similar. In fact, I installed Lxle before Antix and it had a bluetooth button for setting up bluetooth, and it worked.
Unfortunately, the fat 32 flash drive is also complicated on Lxle.
I uninstalled Lxle because it couldn't address my 1024x768 screen. It showed 640x480 only and had too much difficulty trying to fix it. Antix had no such problem.
I will get to the fat 32 and bluetooth problem later. It's too complicated at this stage.
Thanks for the help.

Nothing is complicated if you take the time to watch the videos already made.
