Hello kempelen.

That IceWM sentence refers to basic operations on the windows. Maybe so basic, that’s why you didn’t figure it out. Attached first screenshot shows the “three icons” the text refers to. Minimize, Maximize, Close.

Thank you very much for your detailed explanations regarding your interpretation of the English text. Thanks to your texts and images, I was able to produce a text in “pt_BR” that I consider satisfactory. The text below is an automatic translation from “pt_BR” to “en” done by Google:

In most IceWM themes, windows have three buttons in the upper right corner: the ‘Minimize’ button (with an underscore or dash ‘_’), the ‘Maximize’ button (with a square), and the ‘Close’ button (with an ‘X’). In some IceWM themes, such as Groove, Icenoir, Metal2, Simplestblack, Truth Ice, and Standard, windows have four buttons. These include the three buttons in the upper right corner mentioned above, plus a fourth button, ‘Roll Up’, which hides the entire window body or content (including devices, folders, files, and favorites), displaying only the window title bar with the three buttons, and a fourth button, ‘Unroll Up’, which restores the display of the entire window body or content (or double-clicking the left mouse button on the title bar restores or maximizes the window).

Right-clicking on the IceWM window’s title bar displays several options, including ‘Move’, ‘Size’, ‘Minimize’, ‘Maximize’, ‘Maximize vertically’, ‘Maximize horizontally’, ‘Full screen’, ‘Hide’, ‘Roll’, ‘Forward’, ‘Backward’, ‘Layers’, ‘Group’, ‘Move to’, ‘Occupy all’, ‘Notification area icon’ or ‘Tray icon’, ‘Rename title’, ‘Close’, and ‘Window list’.

To resize the window, left-click and hold on the window border in the bottom right corner, then move the window border to increase or decrease its size and release the left button to complete the action. To move a window on the desktop, press and hold the ‘Alt’ key, left-click on the bottom right corner of the window border and hold the button down, then move the window border to increase or decrease its size, release the key and the left button to finish the action. Alternatively, press and hold the ‘Alt’ key, left-click anywhere on the window and hold the button down, then move the window to position it on the desktop and release the key to finish the action.

I included the names of the windows that have the 4 buttons in the “pt_BR” text.

What can we do to correct the text in entry 89 of the “antix-26-faq-fluxbox” resource and entry 84 of the “antix-26-faq-jwm” resource?

Entry 89:

Just right-click it to select whether it auto-hides, where it is placed, how wide it is, the clock format, etc.

Entry 84

Just right-click it to select whether it auto-hides, where it is placed, how wide it is, the clock format, etc.

The automatic translation of these sentences does not seem to accurately reflect what right-clicking on the toolbar can or cannot do.

I need help understanding this sentence in the context of “How do I change the Panel?(Fluxbox and JWM)”.

Kempelen, thank you very much for your explanations. I will be able to correct and improve the “pt_BR” text.

Hello.

I need help again—this time with the “antix-26-faq-persistence” feature—because the ambiguity of the texts is boundless. 🙁

We include remastering as a form of persistence for purposes of comparison. The Remastering page contains implementation details.  If root persistence is like using a piton while climbing up a cliff, remastering is more like setting up a camp or bivouac site.

I cannot grasp the comparison illustrated in the text of entry 68 when reading the machine translation.

However, it is always possible for the antiX help text to become even harder to understand when reading the machine translation.

The text of entry 69 is as follows:

The information for both root and home persistence is stored in two files called rootfs and homefs.

Is it the case that root persistence data (persist_root) is stored in the ‘rootfs’ file and home folder persistence data (persist_home) is stored in the ‘homefs’ file?

Or

Are root persistence data (persist_root) and home folder persistence data (persist_home) stored in the ‘homefs’ and ‘rootfs’ files?

I don’t know which of the above statements is correct.
and

Unlike previous versions of antiX, there is no longer an option to use a entire partition for root or home persistence.

What is the intention or reason for mentioning in the help text that the current version of antiX no longer offers the functionality described above?

The text of entry 75 and 76 is as follows:

Manually by Using the live-usb-maker app

You can run antiX live from a usb stick. To install to usb stick you can use our tool live-usb-maker.

I also couldn’t understand what was said and what the correlation is with the texts in entries 72 (Automatically), 73, and 74.

The “antix-26-faq-remaster” feature in entry 52:

The development system must have been created using a “frugal install”, not a fromiso instal.

This is effectively equivalent to saying:The operating system to be used as a development environment must have been booted from a frugal installation and cannot have been booted from an ISO image.
What does “boot from an ISO image” mean? Does it refer to booting from a virtual machine?

Is “booting from an ISO image” the same as “booting from a USB stick” or “booting from a CD/DVD”?

I would appreciate it if anyone could help me understand the antiX help texts.
