This is on a fresh install of antiX M8

[techAdmin]

mepis uses some non standard stuff, you'll need to talk to anticapitalista or some of the support people at the anti forums.

That break is happening with a mepis init script, I remember reading something about the new antix changing some stuff and making it more debian compatible.

so you might want to post on this in the antix forums: antix.freeforums.org/

Thanks, I'll do that.

Anti responded on the antiX forum if you had not seen it already.
