I have just installed AntiX M11 i686 on an old desktop and i was surprised just how easy it was. The install seemed to go without an hitch but when i opened a terminal and typed: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade once again everything seemed to be alright but at the end i got the following:
E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
E: myspell-el-gr: sub-process installed post-installation script returned error status 127
And when i tried to play a CD there was a kernel panic and not knowing what to do i turned the power off at the mains?
Should i re-install AntiX M11 i686?

Hello anticapitalista
I carried out the suggestions you posted but whenever i open up Synaptic Package Manager and try to install the Chromium Web Browser for instance it fails and this error message appears:
An error occurred
The following details are provided:
E: myspell-el-gr: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127.
I have just opened up a terminal and typed"inxi -F" to see if this old desktop is up to running AntiX M11. Here are the results:
Thanks for any and all help!

Your box is fine for antiX.
1. Open rox as root - (Open a terminal, type sux, root password, rox)
2. In rox, navigate to /var/lib/dpkg/info
3. Rename the file called myspell-el-gr.postinst to myspell-el-gr.postinst.old (Right click on the file -> Rename)
4. Save the file, then reload synaptic and use the fix broken packages option or in a root terminal, apt-get update followed by apt-get -f install.

I'm going to try this later, as I'm having much the same issue with myspell-el-gr, after my recent upgrade. (No kernel panic, however)
