This fixes the broken versions in both testing and sid.
The new versions (1.34.1-2.0nosystemd2) should already be in the repositories.

Latest 4.14.9 kernels for 32 and 64 bit, available in stretch, testing and sid repositories.
This kernel is a security fix for the bfs vulnerability so all users of an 4.14 series kernel should upgrade.

I have made available updated iso files of antiX-16 (jessie) series – full versions only for 32 and 64 bit arches. This is basically antiX-16.2 plus over 250 MB of upgrades.

Both isos fit on a cd.

If you already are using antiX-16 (16.1,16.2) series, there is no need to replace your install with this newer version.

Yes, you read it right.
Thanks to the great work by the Devuan project package team, I have managed to fork their version of network-manager to antiX stretch (not testing or sid).
You must install eudev for it to work.

apt-get update && apt-get install eudev && apt-get install network-manager

Once installed you will need to make sure /etc/network/interfaces file only contain the following.

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Post to let us know how well it works on systemd-free antiX-17.

Newest 4.14.8 kernels are now available in the repos (64 bit and 686-pae). libre (gnu) versions should be available in 24 hours.

For those of you that want to live on the wild side of Debian and basically start out from scratch, antiX has provided sid based net images for you. You will need a wired connection since no firmware is included. Remember we are systemd-free!

This is for experts or for those that want to learn and are prepared to search for solutions to any possible issues.
