(Obviously, off the thread topic of upgrade rather than fresh install)
So, for a fresh install, if I understand things (Call this antiX for dummies <g>):
(a) backup data files so that you can copy them back after install,
(b) make a list of installed packages, so anything not routinely included in the automagic install process can be added.
(c) install a live version on a usb drive
(d) boot from that live version to confirm that it works on the target computer
(d) decide on any partition changes that will be implemented as part of the install
(e) perform the install after booting the live usb
(f) boot and test the new install. If functioning ok,
(g) update and upgrade or full-upgrade
(h) add desired packages not included in the “routine” install
(I haven’t done a fresh (re)install recently. I will start an install to reread what the installer asks in the next day or so…)
