    Just installed Xiaopan OS onto my hardrive. Very easy to do. The program loaded quickly and flawlessly.

    Next step is checking out the network setup....oops! No wifi device detected.

    Next step is downloading the drivers/software to get devices to work.....oops! 'sh: apt-get: not found'.

    Question. How do I download and install software using my newly installed Xiaopan OS 0.4.2.3? I've tried using ScmApps but it returns an error response "Must load mirrors.tcz extension or have /opt/localmirrors in order to use this feature".

    Thanks - Doors

    You cannot download and install software it in versions 0.4.2.3 and earlier. 0.4.3 will have appbroswer, pidgin and firefox which will be great for people using it live. This will probably be released in a week. I have tested it out and I am very impressed. What kind of card do you have?

    Mr Penguin. You are acheiving very good results with Xiaopan OS. Thanks for your hard work. I look forward to the version 0.4.3. The network card I'm using is a D-Link Airplus Xtreme G DWL-G520 internal adapter card. I have used CommView in Windows 7 so the CommView adapter drivers are present on the PC.

    hazz death. Click on the link below and scroll down a few lines until you see 'Download'. Select the link for either 'Mirrorcreator', 'Mediafire1' or 'Mediafire2'. I've just re-checked the 'Mediafire' links and it works fine - the torrent link isn't working and 'Mirrorcreator' has a few promotions and ads that you have to jump through before the download starts.

    Why thank you :) hazz death is totally responsable for 0.4.3, I am just working on the website.
    I get no ads or promotions when I checked the mirrorcreator links. Probably because I use adblock. Torrent link seems to be down. Thanks for letting us know. Will fix asap.

    i suggest u install it in different usb thumbdrive..it easier that way, and wont harm your HD if anything goes wrong.. the benefit of install it is, u can save/backup any change u made into the OS, so it worth it to install it.. regards: hazz

    let me tell u some secret, u may open terminal and type "ab mirror" (without quote) and ensure u have connected into internet, u will be give a list.. choose from the list given, then press enter button until the end of the instruction, then press ] , and press i ..wait for it download it.. then bam! finish.. p/s: google how to change the mirror first, because its look harder to change it via terminal.. and u may find more software by seeing the repo to know its name..
