Precaution before we start:
I am not responsible for wrecking your DiskStation
in any way! All information provided in this article is applied to your
DiskStation at your own risk! Although it's very unlikely you'd wreck
your DiskStation with these actions... but you have been warned.

Installation

Step 1:
I assume you have already installed my bootstrap for the Marvell CPU, if not please have a look at this page: http://www.maartendamen.com/node/6

Installing SABnzbdplus is very simple, use the following command:

ipkg install py-sabnzbdplus

After the installation the post install script will ask you a few questions regarding paths set these to your liking.

Start SABnzbdplus by rebooting your DiskStation or by typing the command listed below:

/opt/etc/init.d/S70sabnzbdplus

SABnzbdplus is now running, you can approach it by pointing your favorite web browser to:
