Re: [Freevo-users] minimal Debian Installation

[Sylvain <cel...@ie...>]

for unstable edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add un at begining of stable=20
  or replace testing by unstable

after in a root console type apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade

now you're in debian unstable

the next thing is to install a minium X environement

apt-get install x-window-system

now configure it proper

try to launch it by typping X ( you'll should have a gray screen ,=20
that's ok that'X server without client)

now add freevo in the file .xinitrc in your homedir ( create it and make=20
it executable)

configure freevo

type startx , you should have freevo and just freevo
