1. No idea
2. You could label your boot partition as boot. Maybe that helps.
You could also update/upgrade your live system before installation (as there is a newer minstaller version available). test things first with the newest version (you should always do that first before reporting).
3. antiX screenshot delay is only for fullscreen. Window screenshot is always for next window you click on.
4. Not my experience. Maybe gparted reports more than what is real. Recent install of antiX 19.2 base: 2.68 GBs. I will later try installing antiX full and see how much it takes on my machine.
5. If I want control of the swap size, I do a custom install and create the partitions I want.
6. No idea.

antiX Live system enthusiast.
General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.

Trying to install antiX-19.2-runit_x64-full.iso

1. My initial intention was having separate

/tmp
/var
/var/log
/usr

partitions but antiX Linux Installer will not allow for my wish.

I thought that the cli-installer might be flexible enough, but it says from the start:

This installer does NOT offer encryption

Is there a way to fulfill partition separation?

If I install antiX without additional partitions, and after installation manually edit /etc/fstab and put directories’ contents via tar(1) or cpio(1) to additional partitions, for example:

# (cd /var && tar cf - .) | (cd <future-var-temporary-mount> && tar xpf - ) \
&& rm -rf /var \
&& mkdir /var \
&& mount -a   # provided that /ets/fstab is prepared

will it work without breaking the system?
Or am I advised to not tinker arbitrarily, accepting the default install layout?

2. antiX Linux Installer
Custom install on existing partitions
I chose boot location to sda1

then home location to sda10

boot location dropped to root
check drop-down list – sda1 is not displayed

change home location to sda9 – sda1 for boot location is available again



try sda10 for home again – boot drops to root again

I have played with it and it seems that sda9 and below for home do not affect presence of sda1
but sda10 and above for home hide sda1 from drop-down menu

3. bug? in antiXscreenshot:
want to shoot a drop-down list,
Region to capture – Window
set Delay to e.g. 1 (or leave the default 5) counting that it will provide time for drop-down menu to be displayed
press OK in antiXscreenshot
press on drop-down list in the target window – screenshot is taken immediately regardless of delay and drop-down menu is not activated

4. antiX Linux Installer of antiX-19.2-runit_x64-full.iso says:

Installation requires about 3.5 GB of space. 5 GB or more is preferred.

But after auto-installation Gparted reported that 7+ GB are used on / partition.
Send me a screenshot of 7+ GB successfully crammed into 3.5 GB 😉

5. antiX Linux Installer’s auto-install created a 2 GB swap partition whereas my laptop has 3 GB RAM (2 GB + 1 GB). I would expect swap to be 3+ in my case.

6. Samba option present in antiX Linux Installer is grey = unactivatable

Hello there,

I wanted to;

Boot antiX Frugal-only From HDD Without Any Full-Installed OS – with Extlinux

as suggested in this thread because I was attracted in this prospect of “booting without already having a linux distribution fully-installed to use the bootloader”.

I carried out all the steps described here meticulously.

First I tried in VBox and then on a HD partition. However I was not successful in booting into the frugal-only-install in both.

I did the following;

1] Boot into USB live antix-19.2.1-x64-Base > F5 > Frugal_only > Enter to boot.

2] Menu > Applications -> System -> Gparted > Device -> Create partition table > Select “msdos” > Create new partitions for System and Swap > Right click on System partition > Manage flags > boot > Close Gparted.

3] In the Root Terminal run the following commands:

`mkdir /media/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
mkdir /media/sda1/boot
mkdir /media/sda1/boot/extlinux`

4] Drag-and-drop-copy in ROXfiler-as-root > “antiX” directory from /live/boot-dev to /media/sda1

5] In root terminal run the following commands:

`extlinux –install /media/sda1/boot/extlinux
dd if=/usr/lib/EXTLINUX/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda bs=440 count=1`

6] Drag-and-drop-copy in ROXfiler-as-root > cmenu.c32, libcom32.c32, libmenu.c32, libutil.c32, menu.c32, vesamenu.c32. (ldlinux.sys & ldlinux.c32 are already there) from /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios to /media/sda1/boot/extlinux

7] In the Root Terminal run the following command:

touch /media/sda1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

8] Drag-and-drop-copy in ROXfiler-as-root > “splash.png” from /usr/share/wallpaper to /media/sda1/boot/extlinux
(Downloaded it from this page, as I liked it.)

9] In the Root Terminal run the following command:

sudo blkid

Add the UUID from the above returns into extlinux.conf.

10] Rox-filer > /media/sda1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf > Right click > Edit as root > as below;

UI vesamenu.c32
TIMEOUT 200
MENU TITLE antiX Linux frugal installs
MENU BACKGROUND splash.png
MENU COLOR border 30;44 #40ffffff #a0000000 std

LABEL l0

APPEND frugal_only vga=default quiet splasht=va
INITRD /antiX/initrd.gz

#LABEL l1
# MENU LABEL MX Linux 18, static persistence, zram enabled
# LINUX /MX/vmlinuz root=UUID=1071a266-a5ce-4cfd-b0b5-2765e54e5f02 bdir=MX buuid=1071a266-a5ce-4cfd-b0b5-2765e54e5f02
# APPEND persist_static vga=default quiet splasht=va
# INITRD /MX/initrd.gz

11] Shutdown
12] Remove USB live
13] Reboot

Then I get this error.

fatal error: device found but could not find antix-19/linuxfs file on device

I got the errors as shown in the attached images below;

I repeated this process several times but with no success.

My guess is the issue may be in performing the step ‘6a’;

6. Installing the Extlinux bootloader:
a. We need the following packages, WHICH ARE ALREADY INSTALLED IN ANTIX BY 
DEFAULT: extlinux, syslinux, syslinux-common. I list these to be complete, 
in case the installed applications ever change in future antiX releases.

However, I get the boot-menu and I see “Syslinux” displayed on the screen before that.

I don’t know what am I doing wrong. Please throw some light on this.

Thank you & Regards.

Eu não sei desabilitar o Conky da inicialização do antiX, eu acredito que possa diminuir ainda mais o consumo de memória. Você sabe em qual arquivo de configuração onde podemos retirar o Conky? O ideal seria que o Conky fosse carregado na memória se o usuário o abrisse, ao invés de ser carregado por padrão.

To load the Live CD environment, 128 MB of RAM is the recommended minimum for a text-mode system, 512 MB is the recommended minimum to load the graphic Awesome desktop; 1 GB is recommended for a comfortable Live-boot experience.

Once the system is installed in the hard disk, memory requirements vary greatly depending on the kind of applications executed, but the values stated above related to the Live CD experience serve as a good guideline.

@marcelocripe,

Here is my recommendations for system requirements for antiX, MX, MX-Fluxbox, Q4OS and Debian. My tests were all done in 32-bit on old P-3 and P-4 equipment.

System Requirements for Linux on Old Computers

Here I will make a comparison of the officially documented “system requirements”, when provided, and my system specifications as I have them on the actual hardware.

The antiX system requirements say at least 256MB RAM for the FULL version with 5GB hard disk space. On my computers this seems to be a reasonable minimum. But with only 256MB RAM you can only run a simple browser like NetSurf or Dillo, maybe SeaMonkey or Palemoon-nonsse2 will work for simple pages. My installs are between 3.6GB and 4.9GB of hard disk space. That leaves no room for data. I suggest at least 512MB of RAM and a 6GB hard drive or an 8GB USB.

The MX system requirements say at least 1GB RAM and 6GB hard drive space and recommends 2GB RAM and 20GB hard drive space. I can run MX 32-bit in 512MB RAM if I use the MX-Fluxbox desktop. The hard drive space is under 5GB on my P-III machine. When running the full XFCE system I agree that 1GB is the minimum and 2GB would be better. And MX uses over 8.5GB on my P4 machine. For standard MX I recommend 2GB of RAM and a 20GB hard drive or 16GB USB. For MX-Fluxbox I recommend 1GB of RAM and 20GB HD or 16GB USB.

Q4OS system requirements say at least 128MB RAM and 3GB storage for the TDE desktop. Recommended is 1GB RAM and 5GB of storage. On my P-III it needs at least 256MB and runs slower than antiX in 512MB. The installation uses over 5GB of storage. On my P-4 it needs at least 512MB and uses over 8GB of storage. For Q4OS Trinity (the TDE version) I recommend at least 512MB of RAM and it runs better with 1GB or more. I recommend at least an 8GB hard drive but it is better with 15GB or more.

Debian system requirements say a minimum of 256MB RAM and 10GB drive space. They recommend 1GB of RAM and 10GB hard drive. On my P-III Debian uses at least 256MB of RAM and up to 6.5 GB of storage when installed with the XFCE desktop. It runs okay in 512MB as long as I limit the browser to SeaMonkey. I recommend at least 512MB of RAM and 1GB would be better. I recommend at least 10GB of storage and 15GB would be better.

I will use the Pentium-III 1.0Ghz with 512MB and the P-4 3.2Ghz w/ 3GB.

P-III Coppermine 1.0 Ghz, 512M

[Moderator BobC]

One of this weekend’s projects is to either get it working or strip it for usable parts. My guess is I goofed up the MB when trying to replace the CMOS battery. I’ll inspect it for obvious damage just in case. I’m pretty sure I can use one of the CPU’s to replace a much slower slot 1 P II CPU in a machine with a similar MB, and will see if I can use the memory because the other machine doesn’t have enough. Also the DVD will swap, and WiFi and the ATI video. It has a big PS but will have to look if I can use that in anything else.

I’m not good enough at electronics to fix anything tricky unless I have a full shop manual, like my old Heathkit radio stuff used to come with, where they gave check voltages at pin outs, etc.

The only value it has is sentimental at this point…

Hello!
I have an older N-Vidia card with an S-Video output, and I’m trying to get it output in NTSC, instead of PAL.
According to this link, I should be able to set this with the tv_norm parameter, however, I can’t seem to get it to work. I’ve some hopefully relevant command outputs below. Also, in terms of my general problem, I’ve also tried setting it with xrandr and nvtv, neither of which work. I also tried setting the parameter in GRUB, which didn’t seem to work either.

Thanks!

Greetings!

The antiX installation program has an option to use a swap partition on one of the disks it detects on the computer during the operating system installation, and it can encrypt the root/home directory of the system, along with the swap partition. I would like to set up the LUKS encrypted swap partition I made so it’s automatically enabled at start up, and so it works with pm-hibernate or hibernate.

Does anybody know how to do all of this without reinstalling the system? I’m short of partitions in the disk, and I can’t use external storage mediums either, because I don’t have many, and the ones I have lack the space I need or are broken.

[Member AR]

In my antiX 19.2 full I never had the lack of memory on my 2Gb RAM EeePC 1215P. With IceWM (without ROX and wallpapers), and Chrome browser (where I has suppressed all ads), my using of swap had maximum of approximately 50Mb with about 4-6 opened tabs in Chrome plus 1-2 other applications opened. Even if one of other applications was GIMP, and the second was Double Commander. And yes, I use zswap with lz4, but I suspect that my 50Mb of swap doesn’t fit in zswap thresold.

Well, I don’t think it is necessary to “replicate as far as browser is concerned”. Because:

1. On my machine I use an almost-original antix image, so I don’t think there are much “running in background”. “htop” also shows no other activities, besides Firefox and some extremely-lightweight terminal apps (tmux, vim, etc.)

2. And I don’t even think it has much to do with Ads, because the memory-intensive web pages I referred to, was just a couple big-name online email or online chat application inside a web page. Those pages contains no ads by its nature. Perhaps still contains some tracking, but I doubt we can – or should – mess up with a modern rich-client application in a web page.

So, perhaps these all boil down to what particular web pages an individual would need to visit in a whatever browser, with some particular computer specs. If the workload is approaching the (ram) limit, then so be it. To that end, the title and the original intention of this thread, was to see whether antiX can be configured to NOT getting into thrashing. I found no answer to that specific question, but the zswap+swap seems a reasonable workaround.

Earlier in this thread seaken64 suggested I do new install and after the strange behaviour with my lan connection that has been the only option so I have installed Antix 19.2 base. I have been quite surprised by the difference from my previous install and so will explore and adjust system to suit my preferences.

No real understanding of problem I ran into but it is just possible my connection had been blocked by my Sophos UTM but that is another story!

I shall now work on my original problem taking into the advice given above. From what I have seen during the installation however I find that now both Ceni and Connman are installed and are shown on Control Centre > Network page and from was written earlier I should only use one of these and not swap between.

Will report progress in due course and meanwhile grateful thanks for those who have helped and for an excellent Forum.

Thanks@all for interesting info.
I asked around, very few of us have more than 2 Gig Memory, Firefox seems to be part of the puzzle as is ads tracking telemetry.

We get the system going non responsive with Tor Browser. CPU @100% Pages full of blinking ads, trackers firing away, CSS running rife
and suspect we are also running other more hidden nefarious things in background as network traffic is very high, swap too.

With Latest Firefox, a comprehensive hosts file to reduce ads and tracking. Hidden extensions removed from Fox. No Pocket, No Safe Browsing,
No Snippets and search suggestions, Policy file (from Enterprise policy Generator Addon), Ghacks user.js are used as is u block origin.
Memory usage very rarely reaches swap level even with 5 or 6 (sometimes more) tabs open. No direct google search as the first 15 or 20 results
are always crappy paid redirecting tracking rubbish. Mostly use Metager, Ecosia, Duck.

I also look where popup ads and trash are coming from in the firefox java inspector keep an eye out for tracking stuff and extend blocklist.
For Netflix and Amazon video an extra user is created as hardened browser will not allow drm..

We have Claws on desk 1, Palemoon on 2, Calc on 3 Writer, on 4 Firefox opens on 6 and is the only non auto start mentioned.

@rayluo Maybe list standard pages each in own tab used to reach and test the condition as well as firefox setup would help others to replicate
as far as browser is concerned. Is only firefox open, What is running in background.
