I have spent hours googlen and have not been able to figure this out. I have searched the forums. I have putty installed and can SSH into Live Distro. I even tried using the Ubuntu Live CD to extract to Skins directory but I don't have the rights. Im not a Linux guru. Can anyone provide some instructions on how to install. I am running 9.11 Camelot Final. Still had to update Nvidia drivers as VDAPU was still bonned in the final.
Thanks in Advance.

you have to extract the skin to your home directory:
/home/<username>/.xbmc/skin/

I tried to extract it to this directory from within Ubuntu Live and says I don't have the rights. I had to turn on hidden files just to see this directory.

if you can ssh to the xbmc live box, you should be able to do something like this:
mv Transparency\!.rar /home/xbmc/.xbmc/skin/
cd /home/xbmc/.xbmc/skin/
unrar x Transparency\!.rar
rm Transparency\!.rar
i'm not using xbmc live myself, so maybe someone knows a better/easier way...

just put the skin in /usr/share/xbmc/skin/
you might have to change the permission of the skin folder first
sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/xbmc/skin/
then it should come up in the settings under appearance
