I gave the second iso a shot – nice to get it under 700MB (jut shows how much ‘bloat’ using non-free uses).
I was not trying to reduce the size, but that is an interesting side benefit.
Works well on my laptop with ethernet.
Only issue (and a serious one) was that a dist-upgrade updates the kernel and causes errors.
I think you should include the linux-headers as well.If you still have it on your system, could you attach a text file with your /var/log/apt/history.log? I want to see the output if possible. It may be more than just the missing headers, as I was hacking around on some Intel firmware files and I think I accidentally removed some of the important ones that are not non-free.

Though I have not experimented with this particular effort, I still love to see people experiment with various things.
I pretty much have to use a non-free configuration because I use Wifi almost exclusively and I have to go elsewhere (outside of my room or right next to a router to run from Ethernet.
Still I love seeing this kind of activity; a couple of years ago I may have tried something similar myself; great idea!

Virtualbox install.
This ‘fixes’ the issue before upgrading the kernel.

OK, thanks, very helpful. I’ll retrace your steps and make changes accordingly.

I think you would need to remove linux-compiler-gcc-8-x86:amd64 (4.19.160-2), ndiswrapper-utils-1.9:amd64 (1.61-0mx17+3), linux-kbuild-4.19:amd64 (4.19.160-2), ndiswrapper:amd64 (1.61-0mx17+3) from your live build.

Yes, I’m going to try first to just repeat your exact steps, see how it goes.

A new respin has been uploaded to this Mega drive for fast download: https://mega.nz/folder/KI8igD5L#-yjCYlm9EshiqjEkCQeZvg
Internet Archive download site with torrent is here: https://archive.org/download/20210124-anti-x-19.3-libre-respinIt weighs in at a hefty 699MB. Passwords are antix/antix, root/antix.
Wifi will work now if you have a USB dongle or wifi card with an Atheros chipset that runs off of free drivers. Tested and works on my system with a TP-LINK Tl-WN722N wifi dongle with Atheros AR9271 chipset.
Firefox-esr has been replaced by the libre “abrowser” package from the Trisquel project. abrowser is a version of Firefox with non-free and non-privacy blobs stripped out. It is set up in the menu to start with apulse in order to get sound on antiX’s alsa system. In the next update I’ll change out the Trisquel bookmarks in abrowser for the antiX bookmarks.
This version seems a lot more stable, but I would still consider it to be in an alpha, experimental state, not for production machines. This version tracks a lot more closely to vanilla antiX (“Base” version) than the last version. Let me know if you find anything I need to correct.
