Hello
I installed antix 14 on an old acer travelmate 4500 ant it's brilliant.
Only problem is usb.
During the live attempt the system was recognizing a USB flash drive and a Toshiba usb3 hdd no problem.
Also I copied files from pc hdd to Toshiba.
Then I installed the system and nothing happened when I inserted the drives. I installed automount fro synaptic and the USB stick fat works but not the Toshiba usb3. It's a NTFS drive and fuse and ntsf g3 are installed.
Any ideas?

open up spacefm (in the System Menu) and see if it can see your devices.

Try this: right-click the desktop > Desktop Settings > Icons tab. Inside the box Default items at the bottom, check the box for Removable devices, then click the tiny arrow head at the left of that entry, which will expand a menu below it (scroll down). There you can check Disks and Drives and/or Other devices. They should show up immediately on your desktop.

Hello
I do not know that he was resolved this already the usb your problem? But Toshiba is for me usb3 hdd driving, what you open Gparted with an application, it NTFS partition ( decreased) resized. After the re sizing Gparted - no problem new ext 2-4 Linux you may create partitions.
Excuse me Google the translator
