I have Debian installed on my xbox. It's Xebian 1.01, or something like that. As nearly as I can tell, it's exactly the same as woody except that the kernel is a 2.4 kernel with xbox patches, and a backported version of XFree86 4.3.0, and some customized configuration files.
xbox:/# cat /etc/debian_version 3.0 xbox:/# gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/specs gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) Anyway, my point being that I'm pretty sure it's almost pure woody and looks a lot more like a customized Debian than a derived distribution. So, my sources list looks like this: deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge//non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main deb-src http://perso.wanadoo.fr/debian/ unstable main Then I type: xbox:/# apt-get update [snip] Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org sarge/main Release [snip] xbox:/# echo $? 0 (In other words, everything appears successful.) xbox:/# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists...

After unpacking 4096B will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] I expected that a lot more packages would need upgrading (like, say, gcc). How can I upgrade? I don't want to mess with the kernel package, so I guess I should pin it or something. There might be some configuration file holding everything in place. -- Adam Fabian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
