This is not in the repo (yet).

Get the image and headers from here.

To install, download the files and use dpkg -i *.deb

Ignore 'errors' about symbolic link. They are just non-fatal warnings.

Comments welcome.

If you want to use the snapshot app, download it from mepisimo as well.

It does seem to work well, but it uses a little bit more ram on my machine.
It uses 82-ish now, and used 75-ish on the 3.4.1 kernel.
That is just the reading off the conky, but I guess it is good enough?
Just booted, and a 2 minute wait, on icewm-rox
The systemd stuff works, I believe, or at least I don't see any issues yet, and no delays while booting.

Can't really tell about more/less ram usage. Seems close to 3.4.1 and maybe the same.... __{{emoticon}}__
Boots up a little quicker for me. 20 seconds with iceWM norox and that includes wireless connected. __{{emoticon}}__

EDIT:

Used antixsnapshot to create a new .iso from my current sid install.
Made a new USB using new_usb.sh
Enabled persistence and am posting this from the USB. Uses 60MB at idle.

54.9 MB at idle. Boots faster than 3.3.5 from original install. Everything working as far as hardware goes. Amrel rt 786 EX Laptop , AntiX 12 full iso.System:

Since hard drive shows 20 gig. What I did. I pulled the 20gig new AntiX 12 full iso install hard drive out of my new/old IBM A22M laptop and swapped it out into the Amrel. I inserted in the IBM A22M the Puppy Linux Lighthouse Puppy frugal install 4.43 iso hard drive which is 3 Gig. I was getting a freeze up/lock up on the IBM A22M with the AntiX 12 20 gig hard drive and am not sure yet if it is hard drive or ram related yet. I have been swapping out ram sticks on the IBM A22M and I am just trying to see first if it is hard drive related. I will probably keep the Puppy install on the IBM because I have 2 of them and the other IBM A22M is OK with 512MB of ram and a AntiX 11 full iso install on a 30gig hard drive.

Fun and games in the desert.

My better IBM A22M Laptop. This one has more ram and better proceessor. It has a big difference between this one and the other one I got recently. To browse halfway decent on the other IBM A22M. I have to use Links or Dillo. Firefox and Iceape run like molasses. This one runs latest Iceape and Firefox OK with acceptable speeds.
