      Good day!
      Today I tried in vain to install Antix.
      Although the partition selected for installation is 20 GB,
      the message came up that the installation partition must be at least 5 GB.

      I have attached a screenshot.

      Is there a workaround?

      Greetings

        Hi,

        I assume that you have tried to install antiX 19.4 64-bit full.
        Try to update the live USB (there was an error in the installation script, not quite sure if this is it).

        PS: If you ask a question, it may be often beneficial to provide more information about your antiX system, e.g. output of the command ‘inxi -Fxz’.

          Do you have more than 4 primary partitions? If so, you can’t unless you are using gpt.

          A workaround is to edit /usr/share/gazelle-installer-data/installer.conf (comment out line MIN_INSTALL_SIZE)

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

          antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

            The image doesn’t show what partitions you selected for root (under “Verwende es für”). My guess is that you only selected the ESP partition and hit “next”, so no partition was selected for root.
            See this example:
            not-selecting-root
            Please show an image of the selected partitions and we might be able to advice further.

              Thank you for answering.

              The HD has 3 primary and 1 extended partitions

              See screenshots.

              Regardless what partition I choose for installation, the entry stays dimmed.
              Only when I select a whole drive (sda, sdb…..) it gets blue.

              HHmmhh.?

                There is a dropdown menu in the “Use For” column. You need to change the option there for the partition you want to use.

                  Xecure’s comment is correct.

                  Also, the volume you are installing to should not be mounted.
