as title says ... how to upgrade to testing from 16 antiX ? __{{emoticon}}__


tia !

As 'su' open the following two files with your favourite editor and place a '#' infront of the stable reops and remove the '#' from the testing repos. Like this:

/ etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list

# Use with Debian Stable/Jessie repositories. Set as default for antiX-16.
#deb
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://nl.mxrepo.com/antix/jessie"
linktext was:"http://nl.mxrepo.com/antix/jessie"
====================================
jessie main nosystemd
# Use with Debian Testing repositories.
deb

sid main nosystemd

and / etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

# Note:If you want maximum stability, keep to the default Stable/Jessie repos.
# Jessie is the new stable release and will only recieve security
# updates, while Testing will be 'rolling'.

# Debian Stable. Default for antiX-16.
# Use for maximum stability INSTEAD of the 'rolling' TESTING release concept.

at the command line issue sudo apt-get update and if you receive no errors: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (I'd exit the desktop environment to do a dist-upgrade personally).

thank you so much !
