So, the 4.15 64 bit kernel is patched with all the new gcc retpoline compile fixes?
An the antiX site, it lists the fully patched as 4.15.5. What is the difference? I guess I don't follow the kernel numbering scheme too closely.

--4.15.0-1 kernels for both 32bit and 64bit isos (64 bit are patched for meltdown/spectre issues)

Looks pretty darned good so far.

One minor item: when the Welcome screen comes up, if I click an icon/link the screen disappears for a second--and then pops back up.

No problems installation wise.

How to update now?
Btw, Cairo-dock is no longer is software repo.?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa doesn't work for me either.

Panel missing. There is only the standard XFCE wallpaper. Can't get into settings no matter what I clicked on. The only thing that seemed to work is log out and opening the terminal. System info not available doesn't work in MX-17.1. I will post my system info from MX-17 instead.

Live.

@mauser: that would be new.

How did you make the stick?

Did you check the md5sum on the download?

Found out i didn't wait long enough for software manager to finish its update prior to searching for Cairo-dock.

Everything is runnin' just fine now.
