Is it possible to upgrade existing XBMC Live install to Eden? If yes, how? If not, is there a "simple" guide detailing the step by step instruction of which Linux distro is best to install followed by instal of Eden? I'm new to Linux, so please go slow...

Thanks,

Lev

Im not sure if this gives beta 1. But it certainly does get you on the Eden path

as there are currently no Eden Beta1 packages on the unstable ppa, there is no such option. when they become available the procedure from blackforce should be the right one, so the upgrade should be possible via a simple "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade" when the files are available in the unstable ppa

You're new to it, so it would be wisest to wait till Eden is stable. By then upgrade procedures will no doubt pop up. Now you'd only be getting yourself into trouble.

Golden tip: if your setup works, leave it that way. Especially if you have no experience in fixing things.

Unless you really want to tinker, of course. But in that case you might as well put your own Linux install together and go all-out.

No, that only gives you pre-Eden

Has the Eden beta been uploaded to Git? If not, then using the unstable repo will just get the last nightly available.

[N3MIS15]

unstable ppa has been updated with beta1

[pumkinut]

Cool, I'm upgrading tonight.

[FishOil]

nope... not yet

Worked for me on live.

[maximus96]

any issues with the eden beta on live?

[scope]

unstable ppa has been updated with beta1

Finally. Quick question; I am currently using the stable PPA with ubuntu.. If I add the unstable ppa and update, will it just overwrite the existing XBMC? Likewise, if I want to go back to the stable PPA, do I just update the stable PPA to get the latest stable XBMC?

Kinda weird as the unstable has Beta 1 in it.

Again, I am on live and did an apt-get update last night and went from pre-eden to B1
