xDSL (Linux) Help installing apps & gaining FTP access.

[Inferno.]

#1. FTP. I've tried gaining FTP access with "BetaFTP" then connecting to dsl/xbox in details. Does not connect.

#2. How exactly do you install apps under SL?

Total Linux n00b here.

its a modified DSL Linux http://www.damnsmalllinux.org and this means that it is Debian. I don't know SL but in debian you install apps like dpkg -i "appname".deb or with synaptic http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic/ but you have to edit the /etc/sources.list first

Gaining FTP access first is a must for me, since my DVD drive in teh Xbox does NOT read most DVD+R discs. So I cannot burn files to a disc and browse for them in Linux.

There's nothing there other than the instructions on how to install it THROUGH FTP. But that's not what I want. I already have it installed.

no... read the "Enabling apt" part then install synaptic with "apt-get install synaptic" (its a graphical package manager)

I tried to enable apt, after doing the second step. And the Xbox locked up

Wouldnt transferring stuff through smb network share be a whole helluva lot easier?

Yes. But my SMB stopped working almost straight after it STARTED working.
EDIT: Whenever I install apt the Xbox locks up.

What about setting up a workgroup and using XBMC to access it?

I've got XMSB I think it is, share in XBMC, and I can access it in XBMC. But I can't access it through SL.

I see.

I was thinking if it was just t get a few files on the xbox it would be easier.

I've never messed around with SL.

I <3 my ntework share on xbmc

I don't recommend SL.
I also love the ability to stream files from the PC to Xbox.
And I see your point.

Not only that,

My XLink Kai does not work, but I'm assuming that's what you were talking about?
