I have identical hardware use a 8GB mirrored linux partition on the HDD (3.8GB Free). Been running XBMCbuntu Eden (From USB and HDD) since it came out (Live before that) with no issues. Remote, MySQL, NAS connection with over 1000 movies and just under a thousand tv episodes plus 25,000 mp3's all artwork etc.
Not sure why you would want to start from Dharma!
Install Eden as a base wait for stable FRODO.
Cheers

Hello All,
I have an Acer Revo 1600 with Dharma on it so this guide is exactly what I wanted. Today the final release of Frodo came out, which is what I have been waiting for to upgrade. WIll those upgrade instructions work with my hardware as well as retain all of my existing settings and libraries or are there other steps I need to do Before and/or after?
Thanks

Milleman -
First off, you're the man for putting this all together! I'm crossing my fingers that with will work on my stutter plaugued XS35GT.
I actually followed the original steps last night before seeing your latest post -- is there any way for me to "downgrade" to Frodo Final without starting over from step 1?
UPDATE - I got 12.0 installed correctly. The jitter is gone on my machine.
However, I tested airplay and had some major issues with streaming video. It would crash, restart, or simply just fail to play. Could this at all be related to installing Frodo on top of Dharma?
Thanks,
Scott

Has anyone else tried this method and tested Airplay? Audio seems to work great but I'm having a bit of trouble with video.

thanks a ton for this guide. I upgraded from Dharma to Eden a long time ago, but now used this to upgrade again to Frodo due to issues with XBMCbuntu install on my architecture.
The one thing I am missing is the Media Information Screen for movies. Not sure if it is a specific problem with this install method, or a problem on my machine. But when I press "I" on a movie, nothing happens, so I can't review actors / plot info, or refresh the thumbnails, etc. It works fine for TV Shows, just not movies. Any ideas?

I tried following similar steps to updated a to 12.2 (previously Dharma to 12.0). I'm stuck with no audio... any thoughts?
