So after a few hours of google searching I figured out how to get it properly installed (ie drives partitioned, etc.) since I have always been spoiled by Windows. However now that I have it up and running whenver I boot up it gives me a list of like, 8 options to boot from. Ill post a pic later when I get home from work, but its along the lines of "linux xx.xx.x generic-pae, some say recover, others have different version numbers, or (recovery) after them. I would like it to skip this step haha, its just wasting time. It is also doing the thing where it boots straight to Openbox, but after some reading I think its just a "where I was before" problem, even though I always shut down from the XBMC portion.
Neither of these are huge deals as most of the time I will use suspend instead of shut down, however I don't want it to take forever if I do happen to shut it down.
What is the easiest way to set up FTP into XBMCbuntu? Im not that familiar with linux at all, so I would like to be able to ftp into it and deliver files from my windows box without having to work in the command line area. It took me long enough to get it to find and automount my secondary drive, even with an awesome tutorial somebody wrote. In reality, I'm not even that familiar with FTPing, and have one question about it, does it give me control in the hard drives in the linux box? Id like to move a bunch of files from my secondary drive to my boot drive (for organizational purposes, one drive was always for movies, the other for TV shows, but I shuffled them around for reformatting for the install).
