A few good questions: XFCE, Env.txt, Logitech Media Server, kodi, network share config (2 replies)

I'm trying to follow the guide here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,21784

I hope that by following that guide, to install xfce desktop, it will save me from mistakes with a text editor, as stuff will be more visual. Can someone please confirm. I need this to configure SAMBA, minidlna, etc. More on this later.

Back to the XFCE question. I currently have USB, and will soon move everything to ssd.

So, I'm modifying this script to activate zswap and then latter set swappiness:
These 4 examples are only to demonstrate the syntax in uEnv.txt (they might or might not apply to your current settings):

- Load appropriate DTB file for the kernel to run GoFlex Net box.
- Use only USB drives for kernel and rootfs during booting
- Use SD card, USB and SATA for booting. The kernel and rootfs search order is as they are appeared on the list: mmc, usb, ide.
- Define that there are 8 storage devices (i.e. disk partitions).

cat /boot/uEnv.txt

dtb_file=/boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb
devices=usb
devices=mmc usb ide
disks=0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

What should I put in the last section; devices, since I will be using a ssd. The ssd will be installed in an external case and connected to the pogo via USB. I will be doing the move before creating this file.

I have and need to configure Samba, nfs server, minidlna, and I expect installing xfce will save me some hassle.

As well, anyone with ideas to install Logitech Media Server, who can share their install procedure. I have downloaded 7.9, but don't know how to install it off my linux box into the pogo.

As well, any tips on configuring the other listed tools; nfs server, minidlna. I saw and have downloaded bohdi's SAMBA config file and will be using that.

Will KODI work well on a pink pogo; anyone here tried?

Finally, my data will need to be shared from an external enclosure via network, not USB. Ideas on configuring that would be great.

Thanks a lot.
