Although XBMC Live is really only a customized standard Ubuntu system when installed on a fixed disk in "normal mode", there are many situations in which a complete build may provide the extra flexibility that a full standard installation is capable of.
For this purpose I drafted a first version of this HOW-TO, a basic description guide of the process required to build what I call "XBMCbuntu", a standard Ubuntu installation on fixed disk that has the 'set-top-box' appliance look and feel that IMHO is a must for all production style HTPC setups.
The article describes the basic steps required for the build, and does not go into details on special aspects of the system setup that are subject to vary depending on the actual hardware used. This is on purpose, and any additional instructions in this regard must be written in separate wiki pages that I will later review and link from and to the main article.
Note! Please help this HOW-TO grow in completeness, consistency, and accuracy!
