Repository notes:
- http://support.xandros.com/downloads/desktop_2.0/user_contrib/andrew/
- http://students.washington.edu/wallyw/xandros3/
There is also the Xandros Desktop OS, unofficial update archive site. However, only portions of the site are APT repositories, and you will have to locate your file and download it directly to install it.
The UUAS serves two purposes:
- As a location to get device drivers required to get your already installed and working Xandros Desktop system on the Internet (such as Network Cards and Modems). Many of these drivers are officially available in Xandros Networks, but if you do not have a working Internet connection, you are unable to use Xandros Networks or Xandros Update to get them.
- As a location to get unofficial test versions of new drivers for other types of devices, or other unofficial patches to the system.
Other Xandros News
Getting the new kernel update in smaller chunks
See http://support.xandros.com/downloads/desktop_2.0/xandros_networks/ if you don't want to upgrade your Xandros in one big honkin' download with Xandros Networks. For example, if your internet connection is by modem.
Upgrading Xandros to Mozilla 1.6
This is easily done using Xandros Networks, and so the page describing how to do this has been deprecated. The link remains in case someone wants to refactor it into an upgrade-to-not-yet-released-on- Xandros- Networks page.
Re-Enabling the KDE Theme Manager
You can re-enable the KDE theme manager by doing the following:
- Edit usr/share/applnk/settingsLookNFeel/kthememgr.desktop as 'root' (Administrator)
- Remove the line "NoDisplay=True".
