Thanks much appreciated. Nice to know your having success with the liquorix kernel with this setup also.

@anticapitalista
Thanks for the link and info, will be checking it out soon. One of my only problems with Mepis is the way is handles X, this info helps.

If anyone wants to try this then start with antiX-M8.2-base-prefinal.iso here:

www.mepisimo.com/antix/Test%20releases/

1. Install antiX-base.
2. Fix up grub.
#update-grub
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to make it like Debian's.
3. Install Debian or liquorix kernel via smxi.
4. Check /boot/grub/menu.lst has correct entry for new kernel
Also check /boot/grub/device.map uses sda and not hda (for liquorix kernel)
Check /etc/fstab uses sda and not hda (or use UUID)
5. Reboot into liquorix or Debian kernel.
6. Remove MEPIS/antiX stuff
#apt-get purge mepis*
#apt-get autoremove
7. Re-edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove antiX entry, comment out # gfxmenu /boot/grub/message
#update-grub
8. Comment out MEPIS repo in /etc/apt/sources.list
9. Remove MEPIS entry in /etc/apt/preferences.

That should be it. You may find that you need to manually remove some MEPIS folders in /usr/share and /lib/modules/..mepis

10. You may wish to reconfigure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Have fun.
