what does this antiX=LMXD refer to seems not needed now?
title antiX-base-frugal-sda1
root (hd0,0)
kernel /antiX-base/vmlinuz quiet noxorg vga=791 bdev=sda1 bdir=antiX-base antiX=LMXD nomodeset persist
initrd /antiX-base/initrd.gz
http://antix.freeforums.org/frugal-install-t3676.html
The problem with AntiX changing the hard ware clock
did that got solved in this updated version?
Edit reading through my posts on your forum from December 2012
I realize me not intelligent enough to use Antix so I let it be for a while.
I will now test the isobooter to boot antiX again to see why I wrote
that text you reacted to. I report result within 30 minutes

AntiX is different from other Debian derivatives like
Linux Mint Debian Edition and CrunchBang if one
make use of rcrsn51 Isobooter then both
Linux Mint Debian Edition and CrunchBang
works out of the box with access to the HD
while AntiX says when it boot that Automount is disabled
and when one use the files program on Desktop
and go to /live/boot-dev then it show nothing there
and if one go to /media/mnt/sda1 then it says that is not permitted.
So AntiX needs one have more knowledge than the other two
known version.
descent OS also worked out of the box? I wrote this
about the Descent OS
despite this being a absolutely frugal install on NTFS
it actually save edited HTML files without needing any su or sudo.
Not even root Smile Surprise indeed.

I tested Sabayon 64 bit xfce using the isobooter
style that has word well for LMDE and crunchBang
and Zorin and Solyd and solus linux
but it did not worked well for Sabayon. Very slow execution
of Midori and Adobe Flash failed on Youtube.
but it did access the NTFS HD so that is a good thing,

Thanks for the tip James, I'm trying that one at the moment. The live version seems to work better than the standard DVD version of OpenSUSE (which when I last installed it didn't connect to the Internet), Also, I've recently installed the latest version of Mint Debian which is working fine (as usual),James C wrote:Trying another one ......openSUSE 12.3 KDE.

Zeven OS is an XUbuntu variations that is different to most Ubuntus
Some thing in the way the Developer set it up allow it to do frugal boot
of the live on grub4dos on NTFS using the iso which is required to be on
same /mnt/home seen from puppy using a manual drag and drop
You create a Dir anmed Zeven and then drag the casper dir over to that dir
and then the preseed dir and maybe boot but I am not sure if that is needed
but could be handy if it ahs languages you need. I only use the default
and change keyboard using setxkbmap se in the terminal and I accept
that the clock is .UTC/GMT and not CET plus daylight saving .
It allow that one look at the HD one booted it up on and play music
and so on. I can edit a HTML file and save it and the edit is really saved
not as in many other OS that it says it is not allowed.
I don't need to do any Su or Sudo or similar tricks.

Getting curious I also tested if Netrunner from 2012
couldd boot with that code and way to set it up and it did.
I am using netrunner now. It also allowed me to edit the HTMLfile
and save it and it did. So you need to change names and such.
If you have some other Ubuntu as your fave then give it a try.

Another good one to report; DescentOS, which is based on Ubuntu with the MATE desktop / window manager. It's up to version 4 now but I installed version 3 instead and the upgrades from that work just fine.

trisquel 6.0
Today I installed Trisquel 6.0 toutatis
I find it faster than a previous version I've been using with good results. This new version looks promising.
When I started using trisquel was because it's part of the free software foundation software, though I used puppy more times because I found puppy simply better in more than one aspect.

Interesting project that if done with puppylinux would be half the size and twice as fast.
