      Hi BobC, how are you?

      SliTaz is installed on the HD, I tried to apply the command you suggested:

      tux @ slitaz: ~ $ inxi -Fxz
      Command ‘inxi’ not found, but can be installed as root with:

      tazpkg -gi inxi

      tux @ slitaz: ~ $ sudo tazpkg -gi inxi

      Yesterday I tried to install Bodhi Linux, during the installation the video was perfect there were no ghosts or delay in the response, after the installation the resolution was at most 800×600, I believe that the video driver has not been installed.

      I hope that with this information I can help find a way to make antiX 19.2 work on this Via video card.

      Thankful.

      Ontem eu tentei instalar o Bodhi Linux, durante a instalação o vídeo estava perfeito não havia fantasmas ou atraso na resposta, após a instalação a resolução ficou no máximo 800×600, eu acredito que o driver de vídeo não foi instalado.

      Eu espero que com estas informações possa ajudar a encontrar uma forma de fazer funcionar o antiX 19.2 nesta placa de vídeo Via.

      Grato.

            Just opening this thread to say that antix works great on these 2 year old 100$ mini pc boxes, I have a 2 gb ram , 32gb disk version.
            Way faster than lubuntu , I can even play games such Mount and Blade warband at medium-high settings..
            All you have to do, is to install the 64 bit version after manually partionining (100mb fat32 boot, 2 Giga swap) a recent kernel (currently i have 5.6) , pulseaudio for the audio card to work, and do the same trick as for debian ubuntu for the wifi to work: download this link then take that file and copy it to /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt.

              Here are the specs for the Hewlett-Packard 5000 series desktop that I mentioned when I wrote about the three old systems that I recently acquired. This one I installed with antiX; the Lenovo Thinkpad X201 I installed with MX Linux 19.2 and the other laptop I installed with EXLinux. I like the way that antiX and MX Linux work better than the others, but with these old boxes I wanted to try a few other distros. On my primary Dell Inspiron 5558 laptop I have two instances of antiX, one with runit and the second was a traditional Base install with my own selection of software. MX Linux was a standard installation, and I also have an instance of Debian, openSUSE, Fedora, Zenwalk (Slackware CURRENT), and Mageia.

              With all of those distros I still like the antiX family of Debian derivatives best.

                  Hello – just getting started here.
                  I have a lot of experience with bigger systems but not a lot with PC hardware. I was a Windows user with some Unix but only as a user.

                  I have an old Dell Latitude C540 I am trying make useful. 348MB Mem and a 20 GB disk. No Wi-Fi and a single USB-1 port
                  Bios boot sequence is Floppy, CD, then HD (USB is not an option on the boot list)
                  I set up two partitions 18GB primary and a 2GB for swap. I thought there was a small partition at the low end but it is gone now.

                  I have a antiX 19.2.1 386-base LiveCD working and trying installs to hard disk from there but first install attempt failed at the GRUB install
                  I told install to use all of the disk.
                  I restarted the system from the CD and used the disk partition to set the boot flag on the primary and asked for an install of grub on the main partition.
                  – the install runs to the end but when I remove the CD and try to boot I end up with a blank screen and no disk activity.
                  I am missing something related to the MBR – just have no clue what it might be

                  Hello prices1950, welcome to antiX.

                  I think antiX is a good choice for that old computer. I have antiX working on similar equipment. But it may be not straight forward and may require some effort to get the kinks worked out.

                  If I were you I would try to boot from the USB 1.1 port using a FULL iso. But if that won’t work then the Base CD will work. You may be aware already, sometimes the BIOS uses the “Hard Drive” category to boot from USB. Put the USB drive in the port before turning on then check if the USB drive is on the list of hard drives for booting.

                  PLOP works for me. I use a PLOP CD and then I set the USB 1.1 port to “Mode 1”. You may have to experiment with your hardware. Once you have it booting from USB you can make your Floppy as mentioned by Roky.

                  antiX-19 will run in 384M RAM. But if you can you should update the RAM to 1G. That machine supports two SO-DIMM chips of up to 512M each. At the very least get one 256M chip and get to 512M.

                  You may be having some video card issues. Or, it may be the Grub as you suspect. Try booting into Failsafe mode. Also, you may use gparted to wipe the drive and start fresh. I usually reset the drive to MBR, then reformat to one single EXT4 partition. Then let antiX installer do an auto install and take over the drive. It will repartition and format for you.

                  Good luck, and have fun.

                      I have been using Firefox 77 which I have used for several weeks with no problems.
                      Since yesterday, when I start FF 77, my laptop becomes frozen so I have to use the off button.
                      I am using AntiX 17
                      I tried removing FF and reinstalled, but it did not help.

                        Well, Xecure, these are the news: we have made progress.

                        I have followed some guidelines that you have raised.

                        Instead of suspending the system with the cover of the notebook, I did it with the sequence that you indicate and I also run out of mouse, but here is the burena news, there is no longer a black screen dominating the system, but everything is there and i can work antiX with keyboard. This led me to try modifying grub.cfg with the lines: gfxmode = 1024 × 600 and video = 1024 x 600. But here I was struck by the fact that from the graphical environment (nor with geany, leafpad, nano) it could not do it despite being as root. So I opened a console and edited grub.cfg with VIM and launched a reboot (thanks to Pat’s Slackware, for this knowledge). However, the issue of suspending from the menu again after the grub file changes and restarting remained unchanged.

                        At this point, I took a look at the link you sent me about a similar bug in the Ubuntu distro. Although it has no answers and is currently unsolvable (and that practically 8 years have passed !!), there was one detail that aroused my attention: the word “modules” in two lines. Although it does not allude to our problem in question, it gave me an idea: “What would happen if I downloaded and reloaded the mouse module?”

                        Okay. I rebooted the system to make it clean. I suspended antiX from the Logout menu. I woke up the system, of course, as I said without a mouse, but with video and keyboard. I accessed a terminal and ran the following: [modprobe -r psmouse] to disable the mousepad and then [modprobe -i psmouse] to reactivate it and “voila”, I had video, keyboard and mouse, as if nothing had happened.

                        I think this is far from an optimal solution, but it works. We would have to find a way to solve it in a more elegant way, don’t you think?
                        Regarding the possibility of updating the kernel, I do not know if it is viable if I am working from a USB memory. On the other hand, in the link that you indicate the user says to work with a 3.5.0 kernel and currently I am working with a 4.9.212 kernel. Or maybe you mean, not the version but the type of kernel?
                        Anyway, I’ve been thinking that maybe the lack of hard disk and a swap partition could be a problem for antiX to work optimally and this is the origin of the problem when suspending the system. However, I am happy with this solution that I have found and that you have selflessly helped. Although perhaps a better solution appears, it has been a great advance, don’t you think?

                        I attach the log file that you indicate, in case it is useful.

                        Thanks for your great help.

                        A cordial greeting.

                            Thank you Dave
                            I came to the same conclusion, it’s all about how antix is built.
                            It was just that I was a bit confused with the space left after install,
                            in my case from 146G to 136G that’s 10G used space (with reserved space).

                            antiX is a great distribution very light and fast.
                            In my case fully loaded from boot in 44 seconds.

                            Thank you all for your help.

                            There are definitely ways to come up with exactly what is taking place.

                            Here’s one thing you can do:

                            sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

                            This will provide you with a gross, but very accurate total size of each disk partition and it also provides you with sector sizes and the relative positioning of each file system.

                            From there, you can go into each particular file system. For example, in your local directory, you can perform a command:

                            du -BM and find the exact space each file consumes; it can be a very exhausting listing, but if you really want to find out exactly where (and HOW) your space is being consumed, fdisk can be very accurate at a high level and du can be very accurate at a LOW level.

                            I hope this is helpful and you get a better sense of what is actually going on. df is accurate, too, but doesn’t provide the specifics in a way that our brains easily digest unless we are really thinking at a true system level.

                                  To install antiX Core, it does NOT require a lot of space (initially). How much space you need to contain the software that you install on top of the initial distribution will determine the disk, CPU and memory requirements of the resultant system you customize.

                                  Using a simple window manager, such as IceWM and just a couple of applications, such as a terminal console, a file manager and a Web browser, you may be able to keep it usable within memory constraints of 1-2 GB, and possibly even less if you run the applications that consume the least amount of memory and are modest consumers of resources in general.

                                  If you want to have some “headroom”, that is, a margin of space for resources to grow without causing the system to thrash in one way or another, if you have 4-8 GB of available RAM for the system, and a minimum of 10 GB of disk space, that might do it. I have an aging Dell Inspiron 5558 laptop. It has PLENTY of disk space, so I’ve carved it up into 100 GB partitions for using several different operating systems. I keep at least 8 GB available for SWAP (though it rarely even activates because I can usually fit all programs into memory. My system has 8 GB of memory, and I don’t run a lot of apps, and I seldom open more than 3-4 browser tabs. That way, even this aging system works well. When new it was an excellent laptop; it’s old now, but it still works well, just not as fast as the latest generation of systems. It runs MX Linux or antiX Linux VERY WELL!
