Prior to my AntiX 19.2 to 19.3 update, I was able to dual boot antiX and MX 19 from the boot menu.
After the update, the new AntiX GRUB menu now only shows AntiX.
My MX boot, swap and root partitions are still intact, but the new boot menu wont allow access the MX boot partition.Is there any way to change the current AntiX GRUB loader so that I can again boot both AntiX and MX ?
PS This is an older 386 Intel box ..No UEFI, only BIOS

Topic: new kernel
I am running antiX 17 (32 bit) and using kernel 4.9.221.
I notice that there is a new 4.9.235 kernel available Synaptic.
I haven’t seen any notices of this in the forum.
Just wondering if it is advisable to upgrade to 4.9.235 or if it is better to stay with 4.9.221Below is my inxi -F:

Bring back CENI, otherwise I cannot use WiFi
Put a lot of thoughts into this as well as a lot of testing, so appreciate my freaking effort and the time you can save:
* music player: quod libet (extremly lightweight and extremely versitile, incl. state of art tagging, suitable for large collections)
* pic viewer: mirage (the fastest on the planet, OMG speed)
* mail client: claws mail (very fast, lightweight, efficient, plugins)
* file manager: gentoo file manager (rock solid-written in C, two pane, sleek, fast), SpaceFM (lightweight, fast, multipanel, tabbed) – must fix thumbs for jpeg webp png avif jpeg200/jp2 jpeg(arythmetical coding), jpeg(floating point). Must fix thumbs for videos (av1, avc1, vp9 – all of them 🙂
* mpv (extremely lightweight, rock solid video player, supports vaapi and youtube via youtube-dl, e.g.: $ mpv –hwdec=vaapi –vo=gpu https://youtube/somevideo)
* fluxbox – desktop environment (fast, efficient, lightweight, easy to configure, own panel, scaling, themes, documentation, reset button, in my opinion beats IceWM and JWM- tested, used, config in the text file for bigger panel size is a must tweak),
* ceni network manager (no nonsense ethernet/wifi connection, fast as hell, extremely lightweight, others stand no chance)
* runint init and service manager (no nonsense PID simplicity, fastest and simplest on the planet, no bullshit just KISS principle, easy documentation)
* picom or compton (very, very resource efficient, I repeat: super-lightweight standalone compositor for having Sync to Vertical Blank, i.e. zero tearing, use: $ kill your current compositor, then $ compton –vsync opengl-swc –backend glx You’re welcome)
* f2fs file system for your SSD/NVMe for root and Home (fast, robust and BEST for flash storage device, don’t be fooled by other telling sth different! e.g. mkfs.f2fs -o2 /dev/sdx- check gentoo docs for f2fs and kernel compile parameters for consistency check)
* udev rules for I/O scheduler (none for NVMe, BFQ Linaro for spinning, mq-deadline for SSD)
* zram
* zswap
* links (2) internet browser (config/menu with “esc” button and check LCD instead of CRT, must have for heavy websites)
* NetSurf web browser (lightweight, actively developed browser with own engine, secure, no spyware, no bullshit)
* FF 78 ESR (extremely configured via about:config + encrpted SNI of cloudflare + gfx.webrender to yes + many others…)
* Falkon – if you must have qtwebengine (ungooglifed, stripped of bullshit webkit).
* Leafpad text editor (lightweight, lightweight, stable, stable).
* nano for sure (gets the job done, easy way)
* kernel 5.4 LTS (stable 🙂
* xenocara for xorg
* gstreamer vaapi (its a must ootb for 99% of laptops), ffmpeg, and so on
* GraphicsMagic (but not Image Magic, see GM website)
* ALSA instead of pulse audio
* zstd compression
* the latest emerge from Gentoo as package manager (its fast now, one of the best if not the best, power!)
* eix from gentoo (state of art package search with extremely good display structure of results)
* Alacritty terminal (uses GPU as back-end to be fast)
* Xterm (need no introduction, just works)
* IBM Plex Fonts (open font type, medium for systemwide), Liberations (open type), Noto (open type, medium) – all have FULL support for UTF-8 and are very professional with good licensing
* Full Infinality patches with color filtering (type 3 with filter of 45, full gamma, known tweaks for know fonts etc) with patched cairo and patched freetype.
* nftables for firewall (ufw is garbage, produces bunch of complete garbage logs!, pollutes cache with GB of garbage files, wtf!),
* pdf viewer! GNU GV (because its GNU! Its graphical user interface for the Ghostscript interpreter and you can find it here: https://www.gnu.org/software/gv/)
* office suite, hmmm. ZOHO (writer: https://www.zoho.com/writer/ and desktop app: https://www.zoho.com/writer/desktop-app.html or spreadsheet: https://www.zoho.com/sheet/ and many many more…). {couldn’t think of anything lightweight…GTK3 is not lightweight…}Mon ordinateur est un peu vieux il date de 2013 je crois, j’ai installé antix linux justement pour palier au manque de puissance, malheureusement, le processeur aussi lui se fait vieux. La vidéo en HD en streaming fait de petites coupures par moments, mais rien de gênant, sauf que au bout de quinze minutes, je suis obligé de relancer le logiciel molotov.tv; de ce fait je ne peux pas regarder les chaînes de T.V en HD, je ne sais pas si il y a une option pour mettre en SD ? Et si ça va faire en sorte que ça consommera moins de processeur. Selon Conky, il est a 100% et même pas en Fullscreen.
