just short info until I upload the packages (later today), but:

current XBian deb packages (and content) is fine tuned to such extend that it is possible to download download public Raspbian image and with stock config without any mods or edits you can install XBian packages (as you would install any other simple application available from raspbian / debian repo.

then you can either manually have full control over starting x-windows (with FB browser etc) or xbmc. or you can choose to have XBian set booting to X-Windows as user pi by default. then if you just re-login as user XBian, XBMC will be started. and after XBMC quit, you are again in X-Windows. of course without reboot or console fidling.

this is often requested by the users so you don't have to care about two separated systems - but if it is not suitable for you, you choose to host another system on standalone partition, drive or subvolume on XBian's btrfs filesystem. then if cmdline.txt contains "bootmenu" XBian's during early boot searches all attached drives (SD cards, sticks, USB external drives) for user boot configuration (boot netry). then it lets you to pick one and boot it.

you will find details under section Installation in few hours.

OK.. thanks.. But if I use in berryboot and raspbian without startx (if I want x-windows I've to write stratx because in rasp-confing I don't want autoboot in desktop) so I'm using it from terminal(command line), can I install .deb?

If I didn't understand don't be angry, I'm not expert, and English is not my language..

Thanks
