Upgrade of antiX-M7

Postby anticapitalista on Mon Dec 10, 2007 12:15 am

When Mepis 7 goes final, I will make available an upgraded version of antiX Lysistrata (antiX-M7.01).
The main reason is because there have been quite a few changes in Mepis 7 since antiX Lysistrata went final. For example in the kernel, Mepis utilities. (as well as changes in Debian of course)
I noticed that upgrading a freshly installed antiX brings in 103MB of apps! Not good for someone on dial-up! Also not particularly good for
new users of antiX who want to keep it up-to-date.

I will also fix some bugs that were found, and hopefully ensure that upgrading/installing will be easier/less problematic than at present.

So, if you can remember, post here any bugs that need to be fixed.

Update of Scripts

Postby UnicornRider on Mon Dec 10, 2007 11:51 am

Hopefully more feature than bug :wink: but, to make sure all of my scripts are up to date and "well prepared", you may want to run this (re-)install script 8)

Thanks UnicornRider.

There seems to be a slight problem with the script. The glitch is that the ln -s ./antix_rc-5.sh ../rc5.d/S29antix_rc-5 didn't happen and so there was no link made.
Everything else worked fine.

No idea what went wrong on your system; I'm not able to reproduce your problem - not even on the "wrong" system:

Code: Select all
root@MEPIS:/etc/init.d# ls -l /etc/rcS.d/S29*
/etc/rcS.d/S29antix_init -> /etc/init.d/antix_init.sh
root@MEPIS:/etc/init.d# ls -l /etc/rc5.d/S29*
/etc/rc5.d/S29antix_rc-5 -> /etc/init.d/antix_rc-5.sh


Anyone else experiencing problems with my "installer" ...?

What terminal commands do I have to use, in order to upgrade my Antix 7.0.0 to 7.0.1? A simple apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade, aren't enough, I fear.

Greetz, Pjotr.
