Barry's devx loading guide:
Please see the notes below.Click on the devx_xxx.sfs in a ROX-Filer window to mount it.
Open a terminal in the mounted directory.
# cp -a --remove-destination ./* /mnt/sda2/ ###THIS WILL VARY (mm0p2??)
# sync
Close the terminal.
Click on the devx_xxx.sfs file to unmount it
EDIT: Here's how I do it on the Pi while system is running
load devx onto a usb device
plug into Pi
mount the device from drive icon
mount the devx_xxx.sfs by clicking it
open a terminal in the mounted directory

# cp -a --remove-destination ./* /
# sync
Close the terminal.
Click on the devx_xxx.sfs file to unmount it

NOTES
Disclaimer: While all care is taken I cannot accept any responsibility if anything bad happens.
This is an alpha build for testing and evaluation. You probably should use Barry's Sap6 if you are after stability, it is built from Debian Squeeze (stable) packages. If you want bleeding edgy try this. it's a fair bit more bloated than Sap6 because of extra deps needed for Wheezy packages. this is NOT the latest woof, as woof has been extensively hacked! More later on that, with documentation and patches for woof.
Features
- jwm_menu_create from technosaurus for faster fixmenus
new tray icon to start mixmos mixer (source)
bleeding edge kernel and firmware from GIT. Kernel patched for unionfs (may try aufs next time, build kit under development)
Iceape (seamonkey) browser (feature or bug? ), plus chatzilla, mail, composer.
Playmusic linked to mpg-321 for mp3 playback, mplayer for other formats
- Quicksetup doesn't work right. timezone info has changed, look for "posix" entries if you can't find yours, fix pending. Also, the Psync auto time zone check box fails to appear, use Psync manually from the menu, it works.
Sound does not work OOTB. I think it's a kernel bug, plus Wheezy has totally changed modules_init_tools for kmod, which is a multicall binary for depmod, lsmod, modinfo etc.To fix, run depmod in a terminal and reboot, sound should then work. You may have to set amixer manually as the new gui in quicksetup doesn't show.
An error occurs when you start any of the Iceape apps, click ok and ignore it. It is to do with dbus, I will need to recompile it.
There is no defaultmediaplayer, mplayer is there and working but gnome-mplayer is omitted. You could try to get it from PPM but it requires GTK-3. I'll recompile gnome-mplayer against gtk+-2 later.
The kernel is not entirely stable, I have had one kernel crash at startup in 3 days testing, not too bad, just reboot. The raspi actually does power down with this kernel so that's cool. Can someone tell me if HDMI sound works? There is all new firmware.
Omxplayer is not included. It's still a bit rough around the gills, but is probably going to be the best video player for the raspi. Use rhadon's package (direct download).
Ok, have fun everybody!
