Hi! I like Antix, and I have just installed it as the tenth operating system on my multi-boot laptop.

Now I would like to be able to connect to the internet through my wireless Intel card (which works out-of-the box in all Linux distro's except Mandriva). In Ubuntu, Xubuntu, OpenSUSE and Fedora, I am used to doing that with Network Manager. How can I do this in Antix?

I already installed network-manager through Synaptic, but I don't know how to start it.

Hope you can help.

Greetz, Pjotr.

Welcome to antiX pjotr123.

Have you tried to configure wireless through the Network gui?
This is a Mepis tool that should make it easy.
Fluxbox menu>Admin/tools>Mepis Admin>Network

open a terminal and su to root and then type mnetwork. This should get you going.

Problem solved!

Thanks guys. __{{emoticon}}__

I must say, this little antix is remarkably easy to use and configure. Quite a feat.

Don't you love it?

I installed five (yes, five) different Linux distros on my laptop over the weekend, as an educational pursuit only, and Sunday evening reloaded antiX as my distro of choice.

I'd be tempted to say"it is that easy to load & configure" except for the fact that I've probably loaded it well over a dozen times, so I have the scripts memorized and don't even have to consult notes to redo ndiswrapper, etc.

Yes, I like this little distro already. A big advantage over other little guys is, that Antix receives updates. Most other mini' s require you to do a clean reinstall of a new version every month or so, in order to remain up to date.

But why choose for one distro, when you can have them all at hand? I have 10 different operating systems in the Grub menu list on my laptop: 8 Linux distro' s (Antix, a couple of Ubuntu' s, Xubuntu, Fluxbuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, OpenSUSE), 1 BSD distro (PC-BSD 1.4) and Windows XP.

Choice is fun! I gave each operating system a partition of about 6 GB, that' s quite enough.
