antiX-13.5_386-jwm-alpha2.iso 161.8 MB 2013-12-07 08:44 24

I remember one member here running this. The name escapes me. I am a bit under the weather (sick)

That was me. I got it loaded and running, but it had too many things missing and troubles so I went back to 13.2 . MX 14 was too slow as it needed too much memory for itself, and that didn't leave enough to run programs on my 512 mb machine. He has the same problem, I think.

BTW, I also tried debian dog, and was able to load it, but took it off. I don't recall the details, but do know the antiX has stayed loaded on my drives because its both quick and reliable, as well as able to run well with limited memory.

Yes , I dislike antix , but I like MX14 non pae (march 2014).I don`t want upgrade and how can I stop upgrading and notification for upgrades ?

rokytnji · posted: 2014-11-23 22:48

MX-14 is based on Debian Stable. So why would you want to turn off updates and update notifier is beyond me.

To turn them off. Comment out all repositries in synaptic in MX-14 and save it. No more anything then.\
You won.t be able to install anything either though.

in session and startup, uncheck the entry for apt-notifier.

Odd that the name of the thread implies that you wanted the fastest version possible. Maybe its just because I run old machines that just aren't big enough or fast enough to run MX 14, but I like my 13.2 best.

To each his own. Good luck with your project __{{emoticon}}__

Why I choose MX14RC non-pae comparision with antix 13.2 ?(base or full)
1.Problems with installation:a)installation process isn`t good (begins from live-boot)

, b) grub find windows , but I can`t boot.( phrase"press any key to continue..."

c) I can`t apply russian and tatar language with english .

I don`t know how do it I try to read thread about solving problem with antix with search engines .

I don`t understand from found result.

2.I try to upgrade or dist-upgrade a) default keeping user script I can`t boot and load antix .

Also debian repository upgrades select my pc like amd64

b) maintainer version is slow like mx14rc

Point 1. Well, that is a

====================================

Because the installer is very easy for this uneducated biker.

Point 1b. Well. that can happen. Usually that has been covered very well on this forum. The search terms I provided will help you if you give the grub error given in the search term. 11, 15, etc.....

Point 1c. Sorry. I am part Tartar but do not speak the lingo. I do mostly TexMex.

as far as the rest about not understanding. I realize a language barrier is going on here and you seem to have no russian brothers to help you over the humps. I am sorry about that. But I do not know what to do about that.

Your demanding demeanor makes helping hard to take on, for someone.

Because you are all over the place going,"But look at that! See! What about that there? WTF! Did you see that! What was it!"

Just in that one jumbled up post I had to edit to read. Because everything was crammed into one loooooooong sentence.
You bring up , let me count, 6 to 8 points. Because I still can't really tell after the edits.

When I work on a motorcycle. I concentrate on one problem. When I figure it out and fix it. I go on to the next problem.
It makes fixing things easier. Try it. It might work good for you also. __{{emoticon}}__

You are a smart mechanic, Roky.

Find a problem, figure it out, fix it, and THEN next problem.

That is wisdom.

worktowork · posted: 2014-11-25 16:01

@rokytnji , thank you for correcting my message ( my long sentence).Thank you for your advice.I hope I understand you true.About fixing: I don`t want update and upgrade and install soft. Problems start from this point. I have tried upgrade and update in altlinux , antix and MX14rc non pae . My opinion isn`t good.
Excuse me , again.I want to be friend with you.Again excuse me.

worktowork,

I think you would be best off to find someone else that uses the same ISP as you have that runs linux and speaks Russian that would be willing to help you. Roky said that above, too. I think you would be wise to load and use whatever version of linux that other person uses at least for the time being until you are used to it.

I don't run any updates or upgrades unless I have a specific problem that I expect the update or upgrade to fix, and so I never have any problems caused by them. Why are you hurting yourself by running updates and upgrades if they are causing problems? If you don't want them, just don't run it. A few people above tried to explain that to you also.

And, in case it matters, why are you using mx14rc? That is a release candidate (=rc) and is now very old.

The current version is here.

I managed to install MX14.2 non-pae on my antique Dell Inspiron 8100 with Pentium IIIm 996 mhz and 512 mb of memory. I had to boot it from USB with only"nousb2" in the boot parameters, and after a slow boot, I installed it to a partition on the hard drive. I did not try doing it in Russian, LOL.

At the end of the install I deselected the Bluetooth service and some others that I don't use, and installed Grub and let it reboot.

After it rebooted, I went to a terminal and did:

Code: Select all

su
apt-get update
apt-get install geogebra
apt-get install qupzilla

I went into iceweasel and went and downloaded Opera and the newest 1.8.4 Qupzilla Debian package. I then went to file manager and right clicked each of the downloaded files to run gdebi on them and installed them. I couldn't get Qupzilla to install, so I went back to my terminal session and

Code: Select all

apt-get remove qupzilla

I then went back to the gdebi screen for Qupzilla and tried the install again and it worked that time.

I am here typing this now in Qupzilla 1.8.4 running on MX14.2 non-pae.

I think you need to worry first about making things work before trying to make them go fast. I don't understand why you are trying to run an old release when a newer stable one is available.
