To install root password is root

login as root and run
sgfxi -c

Up to date as of 2 pm GMT 21/09/09

DO NOT USE SYNAPTIC TO UPGRADE THE SYSTEM OR INSTALL NEW APPS, synaptic has no brains, aptitude has.

Do not install and use the smxi script to update the system

The recommended way to keep up to date or install new apps is by using aptitude, not Synaptic. ie. in Konsole as root

#aptitude update
#aptitude full-upgrade
To install applications from Lenny :- #aptitude install name-of-app.
To install applications from Testing :- #aptitude -t testing install name-of-app.
To install applications from Unstable :- #aptitude -t unstable install name-of-app.

Note:- the Mepis 8.5 repo has been removed, if you choose to add it and enable it you will be downgrading KDE 4.3 as it is NOT up to date.

Main aplications.
You are now able to run gui's as root, without having to enable xhost +
System monitor for single and dual core Cpu's (SuperKaramba)
Desktop wallpaper for the cube "Skydome"

Thanks for this board and the most excellent remasters

Enjoy
