Hi, Michael.

Sorry if this isn't the solution you're looking for, but what I've done with
my RPi is...

1.  Keep one SD card with the Raspbian image on it.
2.  Get another SD card (large capacity) to put Raspbmc on.
3.  Get yet another SD card (lower capacity) to put Arch on.

SD cards are so cheap these days (especially something in the 4-8 GB range),
I wouldn't want to completely eliminate one of the builds I had to replace
it with another.  Not when you can have all these different "hard drives" of
SD cards that are so easily changed in and out.

Hey, BTW, did you get a v1 or v2 RPi?  Since the v2 was announced, I've been
planning on getting one to replace my Raspbmc functionality, but kind of
wanted to know if the graphics capability was substantially better with v2
(like the processing capability seems to be).  If there's one issue I have
with the v1 RPi I have running Raspbmc it's that sometimes the graphics on
playbacks flakes out a bit and portions of the screen go green or don't
update for a few seconds.

Cheers.

hi guys, I got a problem. I ordered a Raspberry PI to run XBMC (aka
Kodi) on so I can return the NUC to my father. The PI installs an IS called
Raspian (a modified Debian). I am now having problems insralling XBMC (aka
Kodi). Here is what happens:

I ran apt-get upgrade- no problem
~ $ sudo apt-get install xbmc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested
an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that
some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of
Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xbmc : Depends: xbmc-bin (>= 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1) but it is not
installable
        Depends: xbmc-bin (< 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1.1~) but it is not
installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

 ~ $ sudo apt-get install xbmc-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package xbmc-bin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only
available from another source

E: Package 'xbmc-bin' has no installation candidate

So what do I need to do? Whenever I install xbmc from a n ubuntu based os it
installs with no problem. Every other time I installed it onto a debian
based os it installed with no problems.
Another thing, I am also supposed to add a repository but this is the
result:

 ~ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found  ~ $ sudo apt-add-repository
ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo: apt-add-repository: command not found

I believe I added the repository onto a debian based os before but if it is
not possible this is operator error.
