you have to play a little bit with grub. I will write a post soonish.

I used unetbootin to put the ISO on a flash drive and edited syslinux.cfg first with the new one listed by l.capriotti and then according to divinitas and ezechiel1917's fixes to install and get past the CD detect step but now it fails at Installing the System.
Anyone else getting this or have any ideas?
Thanks, best support forum around!

I am new here. I build a HTPC, and want to use XBMC Live as its front end.
So I downloaded XBMC Live 9.11 (I think it is RC1, but not sure) burned it on a CD, and tried it. As it was working perfectly, I decided to Install this on a USB drive. (As my configuration does not have a HDD, yet.)
The Live CD's "Install to disk" menuitem did start well, but the installation has broke down at different places. The farthest I got was "Installing the system".
Then I tried to create a Live USB drive, so I used Unetbootin (on Windows). The result: USB drive is booting, but never reaches the XBMC user interface...
I found a guide to create a minimalistic Ubuntu system, and install XBMC onto it. I did this, and it boots. However, I am not satisfied with it.
It does not play sounds, writes much to the USB drive, and takes about 2 GBs off the drive, while the LiveCD produced sounds, and was only about 500 MBs in size...
What did I miss? Could somebody help me out?
