I want to install the skin BIG.ALASKA, since it is better suited for my smaller SD tv.. i want to unrar it in the add-ons folder, but when i login with filezilla and browse to /root/.xbmc/addons to unzip i get a PERMISSION DENIED error... any idea why?
EDIT: Ok, i figured it out, using Putty and the command Sudo... Excuse me for my dumb questions before trying to figure it out myself...

Quick question. I run Sam's image off a usb hard drive and all is well.
It does not automount the AppleTV's internal drive of course.
After much googling, it seems that if I want to mount the internal drive I have to alter the fstab located in etc.
Being total Linux novice, I looked at the fstab on one of Sam's earlier images that did mount the internal drive and found a line that looks like it would work. I do not want to mess up, my reliable usb bootdrive, so I just want to make sure this is right. I think I add the following to the fstab using nano:
# Mount the Media partition on the ATV internal PATA disk
/dev/sda4 /media/pata hfsplus force,rw,user,defaults 0 0
Does it matter if it comes before or after what is already there? Is this the right code to add?'
Thanks for any guidance.
Cheers,
Craig
