antiX-14-a4 available for testing

#1 Post by anticapitalista »

Lots of bug fixes in this version, but I'm sure there are some we missed/overlooked. Be patient with us if you had previously reported the bug.

So, sysvinit 32 bit version only for development testing so the dev team can focus on getting this done right and then we will move on to 64 bit and systemd version. (systemd is not our priority at the moment)

Get it here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix- ... antiX-14R/

Note: the F4 option to check md5sums shows an error with initrd.gz. Don't worry just continue to boot.

Features:

* a customised 3.16.7 antiX kernel
* live setup is now done during the initial boot (initrd)
* daves desktop should work better
* option to set default repos to Jessie before installation
* minimum windows manager option at boot (good for very limited boxes)
* herbstluftwm included, wmii removed
* new default icon theme
* slightly re-organised menu layout
* reorganised boot menu
* isolinux/syslinux boot menu altered
* splash disabled at boot. To add type splash=v and choose an old option from F7

Please test and post issues, comments here.

There are still quite a lot of todos including

* localisation
* UEFI support for installer (?)
* new antixsnapshot in the works
* documentation

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

antiX with runit - lean and mean.

Glad to see the progress! Will give it a whirl on my test machine in the next couple of days.

Edit: this sounds interesting:
