Thank you for such a great distro and a Happy New Year to everyone.
I guess this is not Antix related...
After reinstaling Antix 8.5 on an older PC - Intel P3 Coppermine, 512MB RAM, I discovered the new
octave version octave3.2, 3.2.4-8 gives a panic error at runtime (I tried reinstalling a few times). The previous version run perfectly on this hardware.
Probably the new version was compiled for a newer processor, being optimized for something better than i686?
Please give an advice for running the software on this PC preferably not by compiling from source.
Thanks
Edit
octave runs on P4 or newer, I tested it on another Antix 8.5 computer.
This is the actual error on P3:
