Topic: Trying to Install antiX 21
I have run into some problems trying to install antiX 21 on a 20 year old Compaq 5WV254. I cannot get the BIOS to boot from a USB flash drive and I was unable to get the “PLOP” program to work. I am out of DVD’s so I cannot burn an ISO to a DVD. I tried reinstalling antiX 19 base from a CD-R that I used before, but got in error (INIT not found). I tried installing antiX 21 base on to a CD-R, but it will not fit. I burned antiX 21 Core to a CD-R, but ran into the same problem as the antiX 19 (INIT not found). I could really use some help on this. I am more than happy to start with antiX 19 Base or antiX 21 Core, but I need to know what to do to get past the INIT not found error. Once I get to the live enviornment, I should be able to install antiX without anymore problems (assumeing I can get the wifi working).
Success (so far). I am attempting a reinstall of antiX 19 off my old CD-R. This time I selected “Failsafe Boot” to start the live session. I was able to use a right click to get to a menu and start the Installer. antiX 19 is now being installed and may go to completion. Once that happens I will attempt to get the wifi working. It is a Netgear 3100 dongle that apparently has a Broadcom wifi on it. The last time I had to enable a Broadcom wifi on antiX 19 I was eventually successful. I will edit this post if that is successful.
Success. Only I do not have the menu button and taskbar at the bottom and have not found were I selected the Broadcom drivers that I had before. At least I got it working this far.

I am using antix linux on on Macbook with (Intel/ Nvidia GT 650M Optimus) actually I found that currently I still cannot get the correct why to install nvidia-driver (maybe I need an old version)
I am trying to install nvidia-driver through Nvidia driver installer on antix Control Centre from the screenshot:
/usr/bin/ddm-mx -i nvidiaThen I can only install nvidia-legacy-390 while after the installation, I found even the nvidia-smi is not found, installed, then the installation seems not complete.
1. Nvidia-card is active:
I walked through this post to enable the nvidia connect on macbook:
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/couldnt-detect-external-monitor-in-ubuntu-18-04-5-with-nvidia-driver-455-38/159919
So I am sure that the Nividia graphic card is active now: (according to this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/68028/how-do-i-check-if-ubuntu-is-using-my-nvidia-graphics-card)lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M Mac Edition] [10de:0fd5] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])2. ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa met 404 error
However, I walked through some posts on the website but on adding **ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa** as ppa I met 404 error. Is this link archived?

After exhaustive searches on the internet and here on the forum, I couldn’t find a solution to the situation I’m facing after changing the keyboard of my Dell Inspiron Mini 1011 netbook, which used to have an American standard keyboard, for the Brazilian standard.
Specifically, this model does not have the Control_R key, because in its place are the “slash”, “question” and “degree” options.
To remap that key, after some research, I ended up creating a file in the /usr/bin directory with the following command:
xmodmap -e "keycode 105 = slash question degree"I included it on the session’s startup configuration file.
Apparently the solution worked for most applications except, so far, Mozilla Firefox. Another problem is that the “degree” option doesn’t work either.
I verified that AntiX 21 uses xkb as keyboard manager and not xmodmap.
However, the tutorials I checked on the internet related to xkb proved to be indecipherable for me, as I confess that I am a layman in programming.
So I had no alternative but to seek your help to find a way to solve this issue.
If anyone can help me, I’ll be grateful in advance.
These are my netbook data:
