A bit stuck... looking to get moblock/rtorrent/sabnzbd running

Hi all,

Just got my DNS-323 and have been playing around with it for a while but haven't quite accomplished what I wanted to. I think the issue is there may be more than one way to achieve things but I can't seem to tie them all together.

Anyway, I'd like to try and get running Moblock, rtorrent and sabznbd.

I've seen it's fairly straight foward (via the excellent guide on this forum) to get Transmission running but I'd ideally like to get rtorrent and moblock running. If I can't I'll try and use Transmission.

I've had Debian up and running and from there I could probably get rtorrent and sabnzbd running but I couldn't get moblock running.

Also just for my own sanity can someone explain how Debian runs on to top of another operating system (the D-Link one) - this really confuses me... i feel like it's part of the film Inception smile

Many thanks in advance for any advice/help you people can provide.

Debian doesn't run on-top of the dlink OS.  Debian on the dns-323 is generally run one of 2 ways, it is burned into flash replacing the dlink firmware/os with debian (this is generally not a safe thing to do without a serial console) or the reloaded kernel module is used to replaced the dlink kernel with a kernel new enough to run debian and the chroot command is used to change the root directory to the directory containing debian in order to run processes under debian.

When using a chroot environment everything is a process running under one kernel, the only difference is where the processes think their root directory is. 

So for example, if I start sabnzbd and sickbeard in my debian chroot a ps command run from outside the chroot environment will see the processes and in fact it's possible to kill/suspend the debian processes from outside.  And vice versa.
