Upon further review... what you're describing here sounds nearly normal.
Can't explain the second Windows listing, though; do you by chance have
another install of Windows, or an image perhaps, on a separate
partition? Regardless, if you could boot Tokay into both Windows and
MEPIS from there, you could always edit the menu.lest file and comment
out or delete the stanzas you don't want to appear.
What version of MEPIS were you installing? The last stable version is
3.4-3; the Ubuntu Dapper-based version is now at alpha2. I've had good
luck with v3.4-3 on several machines, including a 4+ year old Dell
laptop; I'm currently running the pare-alpha v6.0 "experimental" on my
main desktop machine and it has been great.
