From the recent SquashFS release notes:

"Mksquashfs 4.4 generates 4.0 filesystems.  These filesystems are fully
compatible/interchangable with filesystems generated by Mksquashfs 4.x and are
mountable on 2.6.29 and later kernels."

At a guess then, a kernel from the 2.6.29 era would also support
squashfs3. That came out about a decade ago.

BTW, why not just boot the old Mepis image you have? It certainly has
the tools for accessing the files you're interested in.
