Antix 13.2 installed on old hard drive how can this be updated?

[Member DeepDayze]

Hello:

I have been around AntiX for a while and need some help. Found an old working hard drive for my laptop that had AntiX 13.2 Luddite Full installed and last time I booted it up was in 2014. What I did was dist-upgrade it from wheezy to jessie then to stretch and had few issues aside from some AntiX packages getting removed or replaced with Debian versions. Are there any AntiX repos that are usable for stretch so that I can update the AntiX tools (Antix CC, etc) and what are the URL’s?

Note that systemd was picked up along the way and I have no issues with systemd on this HP 8460p laptop. Can an AntiX install that has systemd be able to update the tools?

Thanks and any other tips and tricks for anyone who has an old AntiX install they need to update.

I have copied the conky from an AntiX 15.1 cd to this install BTW…liked it better than the old one from 13.2 🙂

The repos you need are:

# Use with Debian Stable/stretch repositories. Set as default for antiX-17. Note new repos
deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/stretch stretch main nosystemd dev 

# Debian Stable. Default for antiX-17.
# Use for maximum stability INSTEAD of the 'rolling' TESTING release concept.
deb http://ukdebian.mirror.anlx.net/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free 
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ukdebian.mirror.anlx.net/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free 

# Debian Stretch Updates
deb http://ukdebian.mirror.anlx.net/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free

You probably need to install eudev to get rid of systemd

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Great, can give this a whirl to give new life to that old install.

Thanks 🙂
