antiX-forum

I'm not sure what you mean there. Are you talking about the difference in icons when mounted/umounted?

no. in ubuntu if i had a theme with red icons everything changed but the cd-roms and partition remain as the default. same in antix all the icons are black-grey but the cd-roms and partition are blue(rox default i think).

This is probably an issue with with the theme config, maybe a setting.

Having a look at your screenshots (very nice BTW), I see what you mean.

Right click on the (blue) folder in rox-filer -> Dir->Set icon and drag the folder form /.icons/ROX-SVG/scalable/mimetypes or devices.

i used antix for the last weeks and i love it and forgot about this errors:
7-10 seconds:
waiting for /dev....:
8139cd 0000 03:00:0 this (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139c+ compatible chip
8139cd 0000 03:00:0 try "0139too" driver instead.
manually reviving the bootlog daemon... done

10+ seconds:
setting up network:
* not starting ipw3945, regulatory daemon driver not loaded

can you tell me what this two do? and how can i disable them? i hate to stay 20 seconds before i get the error.
i solved the error with intervals and 255.255.255.255 after putting the ip and dns in the mnetwork.
the cheats to make antix boot faster don't work on my system because after using them my monitor flashes the on led and goes in stand-by.

The first one is to do with your realtek ethernet card. An upgrade might get rid of the delay.

The second one you can fix easily by removing ipw3945d.

hey i got reed of windows for good and changed the ntfs storage partition to ext3. i mounted it in fstab like this:
/dev/sda3 /home/ICE-M/Storage ext3 auto,users 0 0
auto - for automount on boot
users - for read write without root i think
thats what i understand from a "edit fstab how to".
it's there another flag(s) i should put in there ?
and can u tell me why with an empty partition i have 1.5 gb used and what is lost and found? thanks you .

I think it should read more like this:

/dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 ext3 auto,users,exec 0 0

Put it above the # Dynamic entries below line

Make sure you have created a folder in mnt called sda3. Actually you can call it whatever you like as long as it matches what is in fstab. You may want to call it storage, if so the fstab line will read
/dev/sda3 /mnt/storage ext3 auto,users,exec 0 0

i did modify it in fstab. exec it's about reading binaries what are those ?
