Adding a Debian Repository

As Xandros is based upon the debian kernel a lot of additional software packages can be downloaded from the debian feeds. Adding the debian feeds is simple:

   1.
      start eeePC
   2.
      get a shell by typing ctrl-alt-T
   3.
      become superuser by typing sudo su -
   4.
      browse to https://www.debian.org/mirror/mirrors_full and select a mirror near to you. You might want to use netselect to find which one has the best connectivity but netselect is outside the scope of this post. Also apt-spy might be usable.
   5.
      Use VI as your text editor. http://users.tkk.fi/~thyle/vi_opas.html has a nice tutorial to get you started.
   6.
      edit /etc/apt/sources.list (vi /etc/apt/sources.list) and add the following line:
      deb <your mirror goes here> stable main contrib non-free
      As I am in NL I entered ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian at the place where it says <your mirror goes here>, but if you are not in NL you should find a closer mirror (could also be an http mirror)
   7.
      run apt-get update This will update the packages lists. (btw, I use apt-get from the command line; you might also try to use synaptic)

Note: probably kernel dependent modules do not work. Therefore it is probably also not a good idea to run commands like “apt-get upgrade”. The article at Adding Xandros Repositories has instructions about making this much safer.
