With much help from BitJam, I have a hard drive install mostly working. Here are the remaining issues:
1) Sound. inxi -F tells me no sound cards were found. I have a card that used to use the sb module to which I used to supply some parameters via modprobe. No sb module in this kernel. What is supposed to handle sound blaster type sound cards?
2) In an attempt to access my CUPS server, I installed cups-client. I hoped to see a CUPS script pop up in /etc/init.d but did not. My browser doesn't see anything at localhost:631. Apparently, iceape is not looking for network printers. What to do? Install all the CUPS stuff?
3) I have a Buffalo PCMCIA wifi card that works without any trouble. However, other previously trouble-free cards are not recognized. A US Robotics and, I think, a Motorola. I thought those cards also used the oronico driver.

For question 1. What does lspci -n at

identify as far as exact ID for your soundcard chip because sound blaster is too generic of a term to help find a solution.

2. No idea because I don't print.

3. Not enough info like what chipsets exactly those cards use.

Glad to hear though

2. did you install only cups-client? If so I would install"cups", as for 1 + 3, I agree with rokytnji there is not enough information.

Thanks, that did it. cups-client plus cups. Or maybe cups alone triggers loading of cups-client. Anyway, I now see from my antiX the printer on a Ubuntu print server.

On the sound card, I guess I did not make myself clear. The sound card works on earlier kernels. It requires the sb module to be loaded and certain parameters to be set. Apparently, the sb module is not used in newer kernels. I wish to know what module(s) have replaced the old sb module.

BTW, the sound card does not show up with LSPCI. Maybe it's not a PCI device?

Anyone care to remind me how to extract information on PCMCIA wifi cards?

lspci -v

maybe your sound device is hooked up to a usb or something

lsusb

I've recently been testing ConnochaetOS and have gotten a lot farther than with AntiX:

I had just had this problem after an upgrade in testing, the problem was that the"lo" interface is not being brought up.
I issued the following commands and it worked again.
ifconfig lo up
service cups restart
