Hi BobC, I failed miserably at that. Usually, you just deinstall it with apt-get or dpkg. I am now in freebsd and installing some hd. I wrote my experience in another post which I cannot find but basically this is what I remember:
# dpkg -P slim
IIRC, gave me an error and some dependencies of slim, so I tried it again,

#dpkg -P slim dependency1.antix dependency1.antix etc
then it worked, next I went to /etc/inittab and changed the run level from 5 to 3

#nano /etc/inittab

#rebooted

no dice, I could not get in, then reverse-engineered everything and insstalled slim went to /etc/inittab and changed the run level back to 5 and rebooted.
No luck. Ended up reinstalling antix-base, in other distros this would have worked.

I found the post:

“1. Thank you gents, went to slim.conf and put rp as the default.
It appeared on the F1 list, but never started, gave me an error, back to icewm.

2. Yesterday, I deleted/purge slim and rox-filer, conky says it is not installed, and chose “3” in the default run level at /etc/innitab, rebooted
nothing! re-installed slim, changed the run level back to 5 and rebooted, zip.
Did a quick reinstall and that’s how I am here.

3. Forgive me, am an old man, “lean and mean” to me, means no eye candy and superfluous stuff. Why slim? you still need a username and password to be entered, which can be done in startx, save space and headaches. That conky, I need it like another hole in my head, KISS it.

4.Net installation CD, is a mess! All you need is the regular installation CD (base or full) but without the apps just the base ones, the user installs xorg and whatever he wants, use .xinitrc and startx. antiX has one of the best installers hands down, quick. Grub does not fail like in other distros.
Being modern and flashy doesn’t necesarily means advanced. Just my opinion, no insult intended, last thing I want is to ruffle some feathers.”
