If you have not installed anything outside the repos, then a dist-upgrade should be ok. I’d suggest doing it in a terminal with apt-get.
1. Make sure you are up to date with the default antiX-16 repos, ie jessie.
2. If all is ok with this update, edit debian.list and antix.list to stretch. Do not use mx repos.
3. If you want eudev, add it to the list in 5. (I added it)
4. apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade. Check nothing important will be uninstalled.
5. You will need to install the following apps manually, since they are not on antiX-16, but are on 17. (You can choose which ones you don’t want)
It’s not clear for beginners!
I have a friend who tested, and didn’t understand these guidelines.
1. It means sudo apt-get update
2. It means look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Then open repositories files, remove the #behind the line with stretch, and put a #behind the line who had no #
nano antix.list
nano debian.listI made all these things on this old computer, and made I mistake with GRUB (I could correct it with the liveusb, but preferred to install a new system…)
I use archlinux, tested gentoo, debian + JWM, and then think we can not allways know everything about every OS…
