There is now a new mirror for the repositories and MX/antiX iso downloads located in Milan, Italy. The address is it.mxrepo.com and it follows the same conventions for repository addresses as the other 3 mxrepo.com sites. Hopefully this will make things a bit quicker for the users who recently lost ...

I have successfully migrated MEPIS using gparted to copy partitions. Once I had to boot the liveCD to run boot repair. And once when migrating a partition created on a SATA drive on a port set in the bios to IDE mode, it wouldn't work at all on a machine that only allowed AHCI for SATA ports. Not a ...

The current alpha 0.5.2 release installs & runs on MX-15 so it will also run on MX-16.

It's possible that usb id of the scanner is just not in the list that the driver knows about. I did find a linux P...
