You should be able to follow the Installing XBMC for Linux guide in the wiki.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to use this version? The stated purpose is to reduce the installation CD size, but I not sure how this would be advantageous for an HTPC installation.

before the EDEN version the Dahrma Live-CD was very stable and lightly
but now, they changed the live cd version and now is more heavier and crashed a lot

Have you tried OpenELEC? It's lightweight and designed to provide an XBMC "appliance" experience.

I'm not familiar with what does/does not come with the minimal CD version, but with standard Ubuntu, you can add an entry to "Startup Applications" to launch XBMC or, on the log-in page, select "xbmc" as the session type instead of Unity or Gnome. Another option may be to add a startup script to /etc/rc.local. There are a couple of other autostart methods presented in the wiki page I referenced above, but I've never tried them.

I just ran the minimal install CD and installed to a flash drive. Booted into it and ran
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo reboot
waited for reboot and then
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get -f install xbmc-standalone

I think. It's been a few months since I did it. I may have had to install the nvidia drivers and vdpau as well.
