      Hi, I am currently seeking a AntiX 19 iso which is completely bare, for me to install XFCE on. I was wondering if this was OK as the ISOs I have found are either ‘full’ or ‘base’, while I’d like to build from a minimal installation.

      Thanks.

        Base is pretty minimal for a xfce build. Lacking antixcc and other /usr/local/bin stuff.

          I am fairly sure I tried out Base and it has a WM alongside a number of applications which I am unable to easily remove. netinstall would be lovely.

          cheers

            I’m sure antiX will have a core & net ISO once it’s out of beta. Until then, the newest is version 17.4.1, based on Debian 9.x’

            confirmed antiX frugaler, since 2019

                Usually not long after beta3….I’d expect fairly soon, as there don’t seem to be many problems left to sort out.

                  @R_92814an Be advised that the recommended procedure for building an xfce or other DE/WM variant on antiX is to use the base version of antiX not the Core version for Desktop builds (per @skidoo as my old memory recalls). To save you some time, I have written an antix19 draft set of scripts and instructions on building xfce and OpenBox variants. Feel free to use/ modify those. They are here:

                  https://eirenicon.org/knowledge-base/antix-openbox-xfce-respin/

                  I have also built a set of processes to create a BunsenLabs Lithium version of OpenBox on antiX19 that you may have, I plan on making those in revised form available once antix19 and BL Lithium repos are available. The prototype is here:

                  https://eirenicon.org/getting-bunsenlabs-lithium-to-run-on-mx19-antix19-a-journey/

                  Enjoy.
