Code:apt-get update
Code:apt-get install kernel-package-name
If this isn't working, it might be easier for you to install a later version of Mepis which would include a later kernel. I noticed earlier today on DistroWatch that a new Mepis release candidate has just been released. It appears that an "official" release is about to come out just anytime now, too.
If you don't want to have to go through all the setup process again, you could probably just make a backup of your /home directory then restore it once the new install has finished, or you might be able to bypass installing anything to the /home directory during the install leaving your current settings untouched.oz

There is an upgrade option with Mepis, I saw it when I was installing this one. The command to install the kernel doesn't work, but I may have the package wrong, so I will check..

I tried Synaptic also, which deleted all my current apps that I was upgrading. Since I thought that a KDE and GAIM update would work fine, I told it to go ahead and get rid of the stuff. Well now I have no desktop, I don't have K3B so I can't burn the .iso for the new version of Mepis.. I'm totally screwed, anything I can do?
