Hey I reported my success elsewhere but also wanted to report it in this thread with a couple notes specific to the LiveUSB install. My configuration below is working flawlessly. Boots up in about 45 seconds, like everyone else. Digital audio not yet tested but that does not seem like a very big hurdle.

With respect to the LiveUSB, once booting up I had to CTRL-ALT-F2 to get a bash prompt and setup networking and LIRC. Networking is pretty easy (despite having to use vi to make the edits, which I do not use too often so it was a little cumbersome). LIRC was not really too hard either, I just copied my conf file contents from my HDD-based Ubuntu install and was good to go.

I did note one thing that I haven't seen reported on the board yet (apologies if it has been) -- every once in a while, my networking will not start correctly. A reboot fixes it. When I go into "System Information" and down to networking, it says I am connected, lists an IP address, etc., but next to Internet, instead of "connected", it says "Busy". I am not sure what is causing that?

Now I am off to get the touchscreen working. Once that is finished, I will be able to set this bad boy up in my theater! (FINALLY)

FWIW, my configuration below played the Killa Sample without any noticable dropped frames.
