HI

Just got antiX 17.4 installed on an older ASSUS X557 laptop.
Needed a bit of advice, as I kept putting the GRUB in the wrong place the first couple of times.

Anyway, it’s installed now and working pretty nicely, if I do say so.

I had antiX installed about two years ago on this laptop, but got sidetracked by getting back into some studying and all that fun stuff at University.

I did replace the hard drive on this old number with a new solid state drive. So it’s definitely running much better now than when I first bought it quite some time ago when it came installed with Window 8.

Everything seems fine on it for now. Just need to check out how to disable the touchpad to keep it from making a mess of my typing and a few other fiddly things. But I’ve posted messages asking for help on those little things elsewhere in the forums.

Just thought I’d say my piece and say that antiX is working some nice for keeping an older computer useful.

Thanks!
Cheery Bye!

This should work.
synclient Touchpadoff=1
Create a bash script and attach it to a key combo. To turn on,
synclient Touchpadoff=0
