I was just getting ready to revive this thread.
I just bought a xbox in order to get my backend/frontend system out of
my living room. I followed various xebian HOWTOs with limited success.
I was able to get xebian up and running, but I consistently broke the
install (or at least the X server) when trying to update the packages.
I finally had success by using the E-Image
(http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xbox_Install_using_E_Images). I was
pleasantly surprised to find that the BitTorrent download of the
E-Images, even though I think it is a 0.20 build as opposed to a 0.20.2
build, worked with my 0.20.2 backend.
I believe that with this configuration, I should be able to update to
0.20.2 by updating my system and using the build from SVN instructions
(http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xbox_Frontend_Compile_with_SVN).
Am I mistaken in believing that I can do this update without having the
two repositories that Steve mentioned in the previous message?
