Configuration file `/etc/default/xbmc' answered Y.
Configuration file `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15update-stamp' answered Y.

Still no network. Have to:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1

Setting N/W to static in XBMC xbian-config get the network up and running.

ssh xbian-config -> System -> Timezone: Errors about a module not found

When the screensaver kicks in for the first time - you can see the xbian loading logo in the background.

I've also noticed - it could just be me - but when testing on a 2G SD card - I'm constantly running out of space.

Spellink mispake Xbian-config -> System -> Network -> Statis "adress" instead of "address".

XBMC - xbian-config - Not updating packages: See https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/441

regarding the dhcp on eth0, I would appretiate if you can post /etc/network/interface before the change to static (the non-working setup) and also output of "ipconfig -d eth0 -c dhcp" and /run/net-eth0.conf file (if ipconfig obtains IP. if not, the file won't be created).

the xbmc config not installing updates - please discuss with Belese.

timezone is fixed.

the logo on dimmed screen - when it happens, check "ps aux | grep splash", whether there is only one process, or two. should be one.

/root/@/etc/default/tmpfs
and change
RUN_SIZE=10240 like before,
but same error (also with snapshot, not sure it's the right file i've changed),
and i've no usb keyboard, so can't do anything on pi

this file (settings) get's part of initramfs.gz. so if you change it, you need to rerun "xbian-update-initramfs".

and yes, it's related.
during past days three times happened, that a very bad typo (or new bug introduced) got compiled to .deb and posted to apt repo.

one was this one, second was circular dependency in xbian-update <-> xbian-package-xbmc and … I don't remember.

since few days, I'm taking apt access down from internet for the time until I test the packages with installing over beta 2 and installing as update to beta 1.0.

it wasn't problem when we started with beta 2 - in 20 minutes I realized and nothing happened. but for the past two weeks I have 80 unique IPs downloading packages and checking for updates constantly what means "someone" always get the wrong one.

but maybe even we should put the beta2 under password, all the 80 installations make no benefit without feedback.

Same issue, no network. I noticed that udhcp was uninstalled as it was no longer required.

just a note, there is no need to do a clean install. there is no difference between clean install and update or updated install in any shape and update again.

yes, the same way as with sysvinit, the networking scripts are essential part of base system scripts.
