    It's as straightforward as installing to rewritable media (USB, a HD, what have you) and following the notes on liquorix.net, I should think. They sure don't go into detail on that page, though; and read the installer in case you have to change designations of stuff to suit the names Debian (and by inheritance WattOS) expects.

    First open your /etc/apt/sources.list file in Leafpad by typing "sudo leafpad /etrc/apt/sources.list" in terminal and entering your password.

    go to the liquorix home page

    http://liquorix.net/

    Add these two lines to your sources.list and save the changed file.

    # /etc/apt/sources.list.d/liquorix.list
    deb http://liquorix.net/debian sid main

    next, add the signing keyring as root.

    apt-get install '^liquorix-([^-]+-)?keyring.?'


    Enter "exit" at the prompt to exit root and close the terminal.

    Now go to Synaptic, click "Reload" to add the new repos for the Liquorix kernel. then type

    "Liquorix kernel"

    In the search box. Mark the 2.6.37 kernel and headers for installation and install them.

    After installing the kernel, you should run sudo update-grub in terminal. The kernel install procedure
    should update grub automatically, but it does not hurt to make sure.

    Now reboot your system and enjoy your Liquorix kernel.

    PS.
    I just did this and am posting this how-to from my liquorix updated WattOS installation.
