Re: MX 25 Beta 1 Feedback thread

Re: MX 25 Beta 1 Feedback thread

I made a MX-25 Xfce sysVinit installation on a test (blank) SSD with no other disks on the system, using FDE (Full Disk Encryption). I have a question about a message that appears with the passphrase prompt immediately below it. I have never seen this before. I ignored the message and entered the ...

Re: How do you insert common symbols ?

Re: Mixed Colour Fonts [Solved]
