Hi, I use my xbox for Linux and it is using X-DSL which is based on Damn Small Linux 2.1RC2

I would love to setup Sabnzbd on it and just leave it on so I can download from usenet. The xbox does not use much power and they only cost around £20 now so it is a great small system... Just a shame it is not updated to the newer versions of DSL

Would it be easy to setup Python on it and would it be easy for someone who is sort of new to DSL and Python to get working.

Also is there easy ways of getting it working using MyDSL or Apt-get?

Thanks for any help

This is a list of things needed to get it working. I took it from a post on the subject. I think it is using a debian linux so not sure if it is the same on DSL.

Python is pretty easy to get into DSL. There are at least a couple versions of it available in mydsl. If you need development libraries, the mydsl might not be sufficient (i'm just guessing). In that case you could install python and python-dev with apt. Or you could install from source. It compiles easily in DSL when using gcc1-with-libs (.dsl or .unc)

I have no idea what Sabnzbd is...I'm guessing it has nothing to do with your question....

Thanks for the reply.

Sabnzbd is a Usenet NZB downloader. It uses just the normal Python version you download.

I did try to compile it but it took forever and i waited 5hs and it was still going and as I am using a xbox and the fan is busted right now it was getting too hot so i had to turn it off.

I tried using apt but i could not see python 2.5 on there.

You could try the python2.5.unc package from the mydsl repository, but I don't think it will work on XBox unless X-DSL has been updated to DSL3.1 or newer
