Why do you need to do the Boot_fatx_vesa.iso part, when the XboxLinuxInstall command installs the default.xbe file etc on the E: drive and you can boot from that?

Wow, I didn't even notice that. It may be a working Riva bootloader..

I'll check it out.

does this install linux on the E or F drive? how do you select to install on the E drive. I know with Mandrake you type setup8 at installation, but how do you do it with debian?

Ed's .3.1 gives you three install options during the process which are effectively 1: E, 2: F, 3: whole drive (needs cromwell bios).

I haven't done it, but this should work:

Go to BASH, type "cd /etc/kde3/kdm/", type "nano Xsetup"

Paste this before the last line "/usr/bin/X11/xvkbd -geometry 480x130 &"

Then save and reboot.

Thanks a lot you guys are bing a HUGE help.

I'm having trouble with the apt-get update part. i type it in, then it says "0% [waiting for file] and it sits there for 30 seconds or so. Sometimes it says 404 directory does not exist on any server [ip: 127.0.0.1 9999]. Sometimes it starts downloading, i assume, cause the 0% goes to 1%, 2% or 6%. Eventually it goes through(it will say "hit" or "ign" followed by a url) a bunch of files and at the end it says some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones were used instead. Are these update servers Busy? Is it possible my internet connection is setup wrong-any way to check this?(IP settings are same as evox and i can connect to xbox live fine and do other networking stuff on my xbox without any problems). thanks.

Go to /etc/apt/sources.list I believe. Delete all the localhost trash and uncommend the https and ftps at the bottom. Save and apt-get update

BodySuitMan · « **Reply #40 on:** April 10, 2003, 06:24:00 PM »

when i try to access that sources.list file it says Permission Denied

*edit*

Ok, i got into the file, and there are bunch of lines that say dmb followed by a url. All of the urls contain the word localhost except for the five at the very bottom. Do i delete everything except the last five here??

Yes,but see the # infront of the bottom 5? Delete those and it will work.

I was just reading the debian installation tutorial on this site and it said to test your network connection you should type in ping -c 4 google.ca. I did that, it hangs for 10 seconds then says ping: unknown host google.ca. So i'm assuming i have my network settings wrong. But i have my network settings the same as the are in evox, so i dont understand. I'm using a router if that is of any importance. Does linux use a special network port that my router could be blocking? If so, what port is it?
