Check out the Control Centre. Then click on System. Then Edit Config Files.

Look at debian.lst

But be careful. Playing with repo sources can damage your antiX system.

It's not advisable to add the dmo repo. According to the packaging team, it'll break the system.

i kinda have an idea on what breaks the system and i am on virtual machine anyway , i always test things before applying it to the main system (which i have the backup just in case)
