In reply to: Things to do after installing antiX 19 (beta2)
seaken64
It’s probably the power supply on the P-III. Many P-III’s use the same power supply as P-II or P-4 class machines. It should be pretty inexpensive to swap in a new PS. Or pick up an old P4 on auction site or garage sale.
I do the same as you and run 32-bit antiX on P-III and P-4 machines. If you are near the Hudson Valley New York you can stop by and pick one up for free. I have a few P-III and P-4 just sitting around unused. Some dead on the MB but with good Power Supplies. Most of them are fully functional. I almost threw them away a couple of years ago but haven’t tossed them yet.

In reply to: Can't get into X with live USB

Huh, it took me awhile to post here since I figured it was a dumb question. Sounds like it wasn’t (and I’ll look through the writeup soon). Anyway…
For live-usb I have used 3 different drives, tried both base and core, and have tried it using the Live USB utility on an antiX 19 64-bit VM (on another system) and Etcher on Windows 8.1. Same things happened each time.
As for the inxi thing, running as root:

Thank you for the reply. Yes, /home was full. I deleted some things and ran apt-get clean. The underlying problem is that only ~8 gb was allocated for the whole system.

I’m pretty sure the easiest way to make ‘base’ fit a CD still is to swap dillo for firefox, (which can be then be added after installation).
Lightweight file managers, there used to be mc-lite, which was quite useful, (but I don’t think it is maintained), also there is vifm – https://vifm.info/
Whilst looking up one file manager, I came across this – https://www.tecmint.com/linux-terminal-file-managers/

Topic: Enable Num Lock

Hi friends,
I installed Antix in an old computer at work, everything was fine except “Num Lock” (Bloq Num) is not enabled by default.
How can I enable “Num Lock” at Start up.

Hey antiXers!
After toying with antiX (17.4) and other LBOSes (Linux-based OSes) for a couple of weeks, especially what I call eye candy distros (Manjaro, ArcoLinuxB, endeavorOS, elementaryOS, MX-18.3) and slimmer ones (BionicPuppy, FatDog64, Slax, Porteus Mate), I settled on an install-to-HDD once I found antiX-19b3.
After a couple of Microsoft Windows 10 forced update screw-ups (the first one moved my data files to a new user account; the second one failed and put my machine into a coma), I knew I could put Linux on a stick from my days of toying with Puppy (circa 2010) as well as Knoppix and Damn Small Linux (circa 2001) to see if my data files (pictures, music, writings, etc.) were safe.
I knew also I could put the WIN 10 ISO to a stick and install again Windows because MS tracks all previous licensed installs by machine address.
I had thought about burning the MS WIN 10 ISO to a stick, but while awaiting for Amazon to deliver a USB 5-pack, I read more about the latest developments of Linux on distrowatch.com and other easy sites (lifewire, gHacks, mechtecheaser) and some more techy-oriented. I took some notes.
It was then I decided then I would give Linux another shot. I settled on lightweight ones, BionicPuppy and antiX-17.4. Also in the downloads were Bodhi, Lite, Sparky, Zorin and BionicDog. While waiting for those sticks my excitement for a LBOS grew.
Well, never did I get around to trying that latter roster because antiX-17.4 was too good out of the gate. I tried afterward the eye candy ones to see if I was missing anything. Those are simply too heavy, too constricting, too old paradigm.
During my two-week adventure, and having used cross-platform apps (Yandex and Dissenter Chromium-based browsers, VS Code), I made some key discoveries on my third time with Linux (note: Along with my 2010 and 2001 experiences, I tried Red Hat in 1996, but that failed on the extant hardware). Getting the AppImage of VS Codium (the no-telemetry version of VS Code), with symlinks and workspaces, it flashed before my eyes—like the browser having become the main UI—VS Codium is the all-everything for files. Right away, I turned it into a tree-based note taker. With that, I could ditch CherryTree and Geany. Why use a single-tasking tool (CherryTree) when one can use a multi-tasker?
Also in my adventure of using antix-17.4 and getting up-to-speed on the command line, mounting, package management, AppImage vs Flatpak and Snap, symlinks, Rox, Fluxbox, getting media keys to work and a host of other things, I discovered that “community” might be the most overused, wrongly used word in English, especially by the Linux world. There are no communities, there are only tribes, insular tribes with stubborn views of things. Most are quite childish (e.g., the Archers, aka Arch Linux tribe), people who believe they should be rewarded with awe because they have memorized things rather than having natural insight into things.
Anyway, I plan to respin this antiX into something that turns a computer into a productivity machine. Here is a hint: Most OSes, e.g., Microsoft Windows, macOS, and the eye candy distros (e.g., elementaryOS, Manjaro, Ubuntu, et. al, keep people focused on using the computer, i.e., “what is the app to do X?” rather than getting done stuff.
Yet, done right, all of that can fade into the background, which should let the computer become a container for a work-focused / activity-focused approach.
Using ROX the right way lets one do that. The same holds true with using the browser or something like VS Codium with markdown files.
The Linux World has come into its own, truly. There are neat possibilities, like using FUSE (filesystems in user space) to create app, maybe like a Tiddlywiki (tiddlywiki.com) using markdown files in a tree inside a ROX directory.
On a side note: Putting on a partition 17.4 in a frugal install, my remastered Live USB would not do a full install on the same partition. After booting up the first time with antiX but before the frugal install, I set up the box with a swap (primary), ext4 (primary) and a NTFS (primary). Later, I let ArcoLinuxB cut that ext4 primary in half for its install.
Later still, I turned it into an extended container with a few virtual (aka logical) partitions, one of which is where antix-19b3 sits as a full install.
Anyway, there is much more to come. I’m considering blogging and bitchuting about my antiX and Linux experience from the viewpoint of practical people who use computers as means to an end (e.g., android-based phones, set-top boxes, thermostats) rather than the means being the end, if you catch my meaning. I will let you know URLs and such if that happens.
I welcome all of you to my antiX journey.

Hi. New antix user, new forum.
I liked mandrake and ubuntu. When trusty tahr introduced Amazon integration (wth) I started migrating back to windows. Why not, right?
Didn’t last. Since then, mid-2012, it’s been debian. Debian is great. Install on everything. Linksys router? Debian. Xbox? Debian. SoC? Debian. It just runs.
I have an old Satellite A205. Used as a gateway. Sector corruption, d damaged video controller, DRAM faults, dead fans, wonky keyboard and touch pad. No worries. Still runs iptables just fine. Just sit it sideways so the heatsinks fins are one top. Better safe than mildly inconvenienced.
Well, it finally stopped for good last Friday.
AntiX might be my spirit animal. I’ve been poking it since April 2019. I’ve yet to see anything I don’t like. With 4gb DRAM and custom kernel, I can run forever. Literally.
You know what I like most? No systemd. Why? I don’t have to second guess the cli. Did I put the [option] in the correct sequence relative to the (argument)? Syntax isn’t uniform from ctl to d, even though its alias is sometimes referenced on stdout. I don’t want to read manpages for the nth time.
Maybe familiarity really does breed contempt. I don’t need shiny GUI.
I need browser in a sandbox. I need a well documented shell environment. I need a kernel that can address 64gb of ram without
swap growing exponentially. Finding a stable, transient dist without fluff is amazing.Few things as strong as a well-timed idea.

I have a celeron M system with a slightly slower processor 1396mhz vs your 1496. The laptop was built in 2005. I don’t have Antix installed instead my system uses an LXDE Debian install which is very similar in terms of cpu load and ram usage to Antix.
For my system:
Baseline-only with just Htop open no other programs or applications open
Ram=173mb
cpu load= 2-3%Only with just Firefox-esr + Htop open
Ram=600-700mb
cpu load=70-100%
some swap usage, it stays below 5mbSo I would second what others have said that it would be good idea to use the top or htop command in your terminal and see what is causing the cpu load. However, if firefox is open 100% cpu load would unfortunately be “normal”. I am afraid that celeron M processors are really no longer fast enough to support modern browsers.
