Sorry if this isn't the solution you're looking for, but what I've done with<br>
my RPi is...<br>
<br>
1. Keep one SD card with the Raspbian image on it.<br>
2. Get another SD card (large capacity) to put Raspbmc on.<br>
3. Get yet another SD card (lower capacity) to put Arch on.<br>
<br>
SD cards are so cheap these days (especially something in the 4-8 GB range),<br>
I wouldn't want to completely eliminate one of the builds I had to replace<br>
it with another. Not when you can have all these different "hard drives" of<br>
SD cards that are so easily changed in and out.<br>
<br>
Hey, BTW, did you get a v1 or v2 RPi? Since the v2 was announced, I've been<br>
planning on getting one to replace my Raspbmc functionality, but kind of<br>
wanted to know if the graphics capability was substantially better with v2<br>
(like the processing capability seems to be). If there's one issue I have<br>
with the v1 RPi I have running Raspbmc it's that sometimes the graphics on<br>
playbacks flakes out a bit and portions of the screen go green or don't<br>
update for a few seconds.<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>

hi guys, I got a problem. I ordered a Raspberry PI to run XBMC (aka<br>
Kodi) on so I can return the NUC to my father. The PI installs an IS called<br>
Raspian (a modified Debian). I am now having problems insralling XBMC (aka<br>
Kodi). Here is what happens:<br>
<br>
I ran apt-get upgrade- no problem<br>
~ $ sudo apt-get install xbmc<br>

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested<br>
an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that<br>
some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of<br>
Incoming.<br>
The following information may help to resolve the situation:<br>
<br>
The following packages have unmet dependencies:<br>
xbmc : Depends: xbmc-bin (>= 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1) but it is not<br>
installable<br>
Depends: xbmc-bin (< 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1.1~) but it is not<br>
installable<br>
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.<br>
<br>
~ $ sudo apt-get install xbmc-bin<br>
Reading package lists... Done<br>
Building dependency tree<br>
Reading state information... Done<br>
Package xbmc-bin is not available, but is referred to by another package.<br>
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only<br>
available from another source<br>
<br>
E: Package 'xbmc-bin' has no installation candidate<br>
<br>
So what do I need to do? Whenever I install xbmc from a n ubuntu based os it<br>
installs with no problem. Every other time I installed it onto a debian<br>
based os it installed with no problems.<br>
Another thing, I am also supposed to add a repository but this is the<br>
result:<br>
<br>
~ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa<br>
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found ~ $ sudo apt-add-repository<br>
ppa:team-xbmc/ppa<br>
sudo: apt-add-repository: command not found<br>
<br>
I believe I added the repository onto a debian based os before but if it is<br>
not possible this is operator error.<br>
