gparted won't run and

sounds like you are re-discovering issues previously reported.
It's difficult to keep track, across various threads... and across 3"patches" to the alpha release.
Would be helpful to have a new ISO to test against, so that everyone is on the same page (and reading/reporting to a single discussion thread).

skidoo - agreed. A new iso will be available in a few days or so.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the antiX-14-a3-RV_386-core-libre.iso if you try to run it live or command line install, cli-unstaller goes into an endless loop when you type in your user name... It says"

Passwords are not identical. retry:
chroot: failed to get attributes of ................................ wierd box char /media/sda11 weird box char : No such file or directory

I am wondering if this is because I'm installing it from USB?
