kernel 2.6.22

News for those that have upgraded antiX to sid repos.

kernel 2.6.22

I installed the base.iso, moved to Sid but the kernel has not been updated, it should be 2.6.26 or thereabouts. What gives?

I believe that you have to choose which kernel or kernels to use and install. If you use smxi, there is an option to install new kernels. If you use synaptic, search for kernel and choose the one you want to install.

If you want the latest MEPIS kernel 2.6.27-10 then you'll have to enable the MEPIS 8 repo in sources.list

#Mepis8
deb ftp://ftp.mepis.com/mepis/ mepis-8.0 main

You probably then have to

apt-get install linux-image-2.6.27-1-mepis-smp linux-headers-2.6.27-1-mepis-smp

You can also use the smxi script to install Debian kernels and sidux ones.
