Getting started How-To

I'm running T38 (waiting to upgrade to T45 until a long operation finishes and I'll be able to restart without interrupting it) but have been unable to use apt-get to install any of the *-dev packages. The gcc and gdb bits installed w/o any issues.

Upon doing a factory reset under T45, I decided to have another go at this. The one change to my procedure was that by the time I'd been following these instructions on T38, I'd already done a wget of apt-get from the debian site and installed it with dpkg. The difference that caused, and what I wanted to share here is that the following (first) line was missing from /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.infrant.com/packages readynas/

In fact, the sources.list seems to have far fewer things in it when installed via the APT add-on versus a direct wget from debian.org. So for others who have been doing other apt-get work before doing these instructions, you probably want to consider applying the APT add-on anyway, just to get the correct sources.list.

With the correct sources.list, I had no trouble installing the indicated packages.
