No, I'm not sure we can assume that its the same firmware in 23.2-core and in RC7 as John is doing a size-based balancing act to support as much as he can in a CD. They _might_ be the same for ATI/AMD but we don't know that yet until we look. I'm still new to this entire tree, myself, so I'm thinking how to get us a diff w/o having to do a frugal install of both a clean RC7 *and* clean 23.2-core. At the moment, I think we need to diff the package lists and find a way to do the same for relevant /usr/lib/firmware for the ATI/AMD GPU stuff.
Elsewhere, and maybe unrelated, I did see someone report a boot freeze before display owing to a network driver support problem, too. Maybe nothing, maybe something. I'd save yourself some text files with the lspci and lsmod info as well as that inxi and the conf, just for reference.
I will do so shortly, and post them here. I apologize for the post "spam" but I am currently unable to find any other way to save the files due to hardware detection issues within the AntiX core wrt SD cards, my last USB is in use for the AntiX live system.
Aside from performing a frugal install, could I not simply mount the ISO images of both on loopback and extract their respective "linuxfs" files? Not familiar with any sort of Diff program so I'll need to look that up but it appears that the AntiX23.2 package manager has a Diff tool easily available, so should be able to figure that out. If not, can always use eyes.
Boot freeze before display would make sense, I've used waitusb=5 a lot on the older Aspire ZG5 to get distributions to properly boot up with the 8gb flash drive from ~2010 soldered to the inside of the USB port and tucked into the space where the HDD used to be, quick fix when it failed a long time ago... I've been meaning to update it to a modern flash drive as it was already quite worn out when pushed into service in this manner nearly 15 years ago but have been using primarily TORAM distributions as if they're ROM files and SD cards as the storage device for the files I wish to save, in an attempt to make the flash drive last as long as possible, or else I'd simply install DSL on that and not look back!
Very excited, thanks again for all of your help!
Will update soon.

I will work on extracting and comparing the two ISO "linuxfs" images in a little while, have to go run some errands. Will post the update here. I'm thinking it may be a matter of swapping the Xorg files from one to the other, to make it function properly. In -MY SPECIFIC USE CASE- I have no issues with an .ISO file that results being larger than what fits on a standard CD, as these netbooks never came with CD drives and the flash drives I have are of about 16gb. So long as it works, it will fit. It may not align perfectly with the ideas of the project, but oh well.
Resizing can be done later. Thanks again!
