Installation idea - willz06jw - 02-11-2026

Let me start by saying that the installation succeeded.
I wanted to mention that at one part of the installation it seemed like it hung at 97%, with a close button at the bottom of the screen. I waited a minute or two and then it finished the installation. I expect that if I had hit that close button it would have screwed up the installation. I just wanted to mention that.

For next steps, I would suggest:
- Toggle-on the firewall in the control center (under Network)
- Choose the "DSL File Restore" op in the middle of the main menu
- Update the system (Software->Manage Packages in control center, yes to run update, then no to not run it again, then arrow-up twice & enter to upgrade the packages it found, & Continue)
Personally, I install the ad blocker (pihole), too. I think it's called advert-block-antix
