re: gdebi
You need to install it.

So far all I've tried is booting to a LiveUSB session in both UEFI non-UEFI modes.

It seems fine, here's a inxi report

The only complaint (minor) that I have is when booting in UEFI mode, the '>>> Advanced Options for antiX-16-b1 <<<' menu doesn't have a 1600x900 option (I editted the one for 1600x1200).
1600x900 is available in the F7 list of console resolutions when you boot the LiveUSB in non-UEFI mode.

This looks great OOTB! I love the wallpaper and the menu is very clear. Fast boot on this old machine.

Some comments installed on machine below (UPDATED):
--wlan0 did not come up automatically, WICD didn't work (no adaptor found) but ceni did. (On the installation this time, settings had been saved from installation on another machine).
--mouse was invisible against the background with default white, thought it was broken but it worked on MX-15, so finally changed to murrine blue; with now b2, mouse is invisible until I simply use arrows to click Menu > Applications > Preferences > CUstomize Look and Feel, and as soon as that dialog screen opens the mouse is visible.
--tried to run Personal > Personal Help Video, but got a gstreamer error ("check log")
--it would be a lot easier on new users IMO if when the dialog for root password came up (on User Manager, for instance) it specified it needed the sudo password--have seen many posts on antiX Forum about this
--can't test multimedia on this machine, too much doesn't work any more (starting with speakers)

jerry - is that running live or installed?

[dolphin_oracle]

tried to run Personal > Personal Help Video, but got a gstreamer error ("check log")

its actually the livestreamer backend libraries. No fix at the moment. we will probably need to remove that menu entry.

Looks nice, I wonder though why in KVM (Qemu) the Qt app don't work (black windows and some QPainter errors), they work fine in VirtualBox.

I think I've seen this before but I am not sure what causes it, Qt apps work fine in MX running in KVM.

Sorry, live.

EDIT: info now there from installed b1 instead

Which qt apps?

I think all of them (minstal, isosnapshot, etc), try to launch the iso in KVM, I usually do this: kvm -m 2047 -cdrom antiX-16-b1_386-full.iso
It might have to do with my video card too, who knows...
