Installing software
Hi there,
Im currently in the process of trying to make a streaming media box for my tv out of a knoppix box (ive chosen knoppix since i only have a small hdd for use, so being able to boot from the cd is a major plus). Here are the problems i cant seem to solve (im not a linux guru, so this might be basic, if it is, im sorry)
I need to install Videolan, and have the program autostart and being listening for a stream on start up.
To install Videolan the site says.
Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian woody main
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian woody main
For a normal install, do:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install gnome-vlc libdvdcss2
But not, without doing a HDD install (hdd is smaller then a cd) how can i edit the sources.list as it resides on the cd?
apt-get update just gives a load of errors after it downloads the new info (mainly, it cant write to a read only file on the cd).
I have created a persistant home dir (starting knoppix with "knoppix home=scan")
Can anybody help me? thanks in advance.
