All got well but I have no wifi.
Did install MX-Linux before Antix install and there was no problem with wifi. But now I'm stuck.

Probably the -full which is complete.
*-base could also be a good starting point if you want to build it to your own specs.
Thinkpad T430 & Dell Latitude E7450, both with MX-21.3.1
kernal 5.10.0-26-amd64 x86_64; Xfce-4.18.0; 8 GB RAM
Intel Core i5-3380M, Graphics, Audio, Video; & SSDs.
