About wicd, do (again)
apt-get purge wicd*
deborphan | xargs apt-get -y remove
COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l |grep ^rc |awk '{print $2} ' | xargs dpkg -P

If you don't need wicd, don't re-install.
If you do need it, you probably need to reboot after removal above, and then reinstall.

If there is no Debian entry, it means that the menu.lst is on the MEPIS partition and not antiX. In that case, you need to add the liquorix entry to your booting menu.lst, which I guess is on hda1/sda1.

ie add to the correct menu.lst on s/hda1or s/hda3

Okay, I'm gonna put on my hiking boots so I can climb up the learning curve. I think I see where you are talking about. I went in my sda1 and saw this:

timeout 10
color cyan/blue white/blue
foreground ffffff
background 0639a1

gfxmenu /boot/grub/message

title MEPIS at sda1, newest kernel
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 nomce quiet splash vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img
boot

title MEPIS at sda1, kernel 2.6.32-1-mepis64-smp

title MEMTEST

To add that to my menu.lst I can't use abiword can I? Do I need to open one of those editors like Ted or Nano? I'm not really sure how to use one. Can I just cut and paste your code?

Dave

Ooooh can I use geany or leafpad? How do I save file ? How do I open it? It seems that I can't open file to overwrite. I feel like I'm very close to something here.
Dave

You can do it in MEPIS or antiX.

You need to open that menu.lst file as root user, make the edit and it will save.

Copy/paste my code to be above this part:

title MEMTEST
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin

In antiX, open a terminal, type
sux
[root password]
rox

In rox, now navigate to the menu.lst file (/mnt/sda1/boot/grub/menu.lst?),
click on the menu.lst file and it should open in leafpad.

Copy/paste the code, save and leave Rox (accept the unmount).
Then reboot.

(Got to go now, good luck)

I'm close to something here. I have the new kernel on my grub, but when I tried to boot, I was not able to enter my username and password. My keyboard was unresponsive. On the brightside however; I was able to edit my menu.lst and save it...
Pretty cool. Enough for tonight though. Thanks Anti.

Dave

Lookin' good!!
Thank you Anti.
