Hey,
the current RPi images are not based on a Debian distribution like Raspbian. Instead it is running the ARM version of Arch Linux. The equivalent to apt-get on Arch is pacman, so updating your system would be done like this:
pacman -Syu

Hello thank you. I tried to follow these steps and so lost on how to Configure my Raspberry pi to work with priatebox. I do not know what to do What are the steps to Get it up and running Because I'm looking at the Pi manual page and I get no where with it?

Hi,
mh, you mixed up two different howtos.

We have a DIY howto, that refers to the prebuild images, which are the easiest way to install PirateBox on a RPi.
The other manual is the "manual" setup, which is for more custom made configurations, based on Raspbian.

hope that helps to clarify.

best regards
Matthias

You're welcome.
I also added a notice on the RPi-manual instruction, that might be less confusing for the future.

Thank you for your feedback. Let us know, if you have further problems.

Hello just a update i went thought it and edit the network interface and i got

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

#allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf



#allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Hello it looks like i finally got it up running it was a problem that was not related to installing it. From my last post it was a lan network problem when trying to start up.
