linux lite doesnt shut down, nor boots, nor its detecting wifi signal

Another is that Linux distros no longer check for bad sectors on the hard drive,
I think this check is essential for any used drives, it takes a long time to check a drive.
I have drives that report fine under SMART disk tests but have a bad sector lurking.
I recommend testing the disk with gsmartcontrol, full disk test, review for any errors

AntiX 15 Beta 2 does. And guess what. Mine are flagged as going to fail soon on my old iBM T23 P3  laptop.
During t the install process and I am asked if I am sure I wish to proceed.
Which I ignore.
Because I expect this. 

Same goes for my Panasonic CF-48 laptop ide hard drive.  Just info is all this post is about.
