Where is antiX 21 core and base betas?

[Member brunomaximom]

Hey people,
Where is antiX 21 core and base betas?
I’m on Windows and I cannot create a core image on top of it. Do you know someone who have created one?

And, will core 21 be able to manage uefi install?

The betas are only for x64 (FULL version) for now. Once things are ironed out, there will be one for 32 bits, and then in the release you can get the net and core.

You could also go further and use core+sid instead if you need core.
SID: https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/files/old/antiX-19.3/sid/
SID+runit: https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/files/old/antiX-19.3/runit-sid/

If you want core and base right now, look at https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/files/Final/antiX-19/

At the present time, we are only testing limited images. Once the upstream code from Debian is ready or nearly ready for release, there may be more to come; right now we are simply testing the available images.

Can I convert from full to core safely?

Hi, not quite sure what does ‘convert’ mean in your post.
It should be possible to
1) Reinstall with ‘core’ while preserving /home if on a separate partition
Not quite sure how user permissions are handled if ones re-create the same user (I haven’t tried it in antiX and it didn’t work well in other Linux-OS I have used in the past); additional
sudo chown <username> -R /home/<username> && sudo chgrp <username> -R /home/<username>
might be needed after that.
2) Get list of installed packages in both ISOs (‘full’ and ‘core’) and attempt to remove everything not present in ‘core’.

Personally, I find the option 2) a bit more adventurous.
If anything goes wrong, you may always try the option 1).

Still, advised to back-up your data (may include /etc/ folder as well), bookmarks and/or whole browser profile etc.

hi brunomaximo,
I think sybok misunderstood you as he is asking you to compare list of packages.

Probably the safest way to reduce toward your core needs is to do so on a live Bullseye stick,
use init of your choice, personaly I would just remove applications I do not need
when they take more than a few MB of space.

Maybe also only leave my main desktop and fluxbox.
Flux because i have needed it quite a few times during system recovery work.

Pretty much same as I do on any installed linux, although I also install many applications
not included in antix iso so nowhere near base afterwards :-)..

I’d go the other direction.

Specifically I would start with a current stable release, such as a Base or Core edition of antiX 19.4.

Then update as needed.

When Bullseye becomes the Stable release, updating Stable will update to Bullseye.

You can do that by setting the repo to stable.

Caveats: use Stable and update a few weeks after Debian changes the name of the stable release, otherwise use the current repo name.

You may get away with a more aggressive approach but you really have to know what you are doing and be prepared to rebuild the system if something major breaks so that is NOT for everyone.
