Installing episode butler and sabnzbd on the Seagate Dockstar.

As i've mentioned i've gotten myself a nice Dockstar with the intention of running sabnzbd as well as episode butler.  I currently have a WHS running which works well but i've always been concerned about power usage even if it is an Atom board so have decided to go the ultra low power route which i don't mind running constantly.

I've had to rebuild the dockstar a few times so thought i'd create a script to make life much easier.  I'm assuming that you've followed the excellent guide from Jeff at link i've used this a few times now and it's worked excellently.  The only thing which caught me out was forgetting to set the boot partition as active.

Anyway down to the interesting stuff, if you run the following commands on your newly setup debian dockstar you will end up with a vanila install of sabnzbd as well as episode butler.

cd /tmp
wget "http://shne02559.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/epinstall.sh"
chmod +x epinstall.sh
./epinstall.sh

This will download the script from my website and carry out the installation.  Sabnzbd is installed from the apt packages but episode butler is a download from their site directly and unpacked and moved to the right location.  Java and a few other necessary packages are installed so the script will take a while.

I've done my best to ensure it's all ok and working  but use at your own risk!!  Any suggestions or modifications are much appreciated.

Good Luck :)
