Well, commandline does not intimidate me when I can see it on a page and start applying it to my system.
I am not at the level where I can actually just know all the commands and test on my own.
Can you point me to a good guide for this in your environment?
For example, if the guide assumes I have LIRC installed and I do not on mini (?) then I will get tripped up.
Anyhow, just point me in the direction and I'll try. Thanks

Bram, when you added the option for the Motorola Nyxboard, what did you add exactly?

Was it the ability to suspend and wake with the power button? I found a thread detailing how to do it (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=112804&page=2) and was going to try when I get home tonight. Just curious what changes you made.

OBTW, I have the Nyxboard and love it. I've tried so many remotes, this is a keeper for me.

Thanks for all the hard work!

All the Nyxboard option does is apply a keymapping that in my opinion is the best. It allows for direct access to subtitle downloading + sync adjustment and audio sync adjustments (color keys), and more...

Awesome, do you have a listing of what those mappings are? Appreciate it!

Nevermind: Just pulled the XML file and looked it up. Thanks!

Hi. How can I boot this install to single user mode? I've tried moving init.d/xbmc elsewhere and setting grub default to 1, both still boot XBMC. I need a minimal shell to free up some space on / .

You'll lose quite some space when installing the requirements for a shell/window manager.
You can do everything you need via ssh. You just need to know some basic commands.

I appreciate that, and I'm not looking to install a GUI, I mean a booting to single user, init 1 .. It's .xbmc, it's grown to 5G. I've created an LV for it to live in, and have created the appropriate mounts in /etc/fstab , and on boot it mounts as expected. But, until I can umount .xbmc and remove the portion of that directory from / it's still taking space, and can't be unmounted when XBMC is running, hence single user mode.

When I install minimal, I create a different /home partition so that way / is only for system files and /home is for everything else including all userdata stuff related to xbmc.

A huge thank you to Bram77 for this script and uNiversal for his supporting role. Once I checked the log and noticed that a 4GB USB stick wasn't big enough the install took very little time to complete on an 8GB stick. Hopefully I'll be able to find the reputation +/- button on my wife's XP box because I don't see it on my PlayBook and my laptop is dead until I get a new charger

During the install I chose "guided entire disk" hoping to see somewhere the option to move /home. If it's there I missed it. Can it be done during partitioning?

I'd like to put /home on a small 250GB hdd and off the USB stick.

I have LVs for some /home/xbmc/ directories, but didn't know how large userdata would grow. If you hadn't have done that, how would you boot to a Bash shell, without XBMC launching.

I'm guessing the steps to move your home directory to another partition would be:

- Create new partion (ext3 or ext4) on your target drive
- Run "sudo blkid" to figure out the UUID of the new partion
- Mount the new partition to a temporary folder
- Copy all the contents from your current /home directory to the new partition
- Modify /etc/fstab to mount the /home directory to new partition (using the UUID)
- Delete all the contents of the directory
- "mount -a" to remount the home partition or reboot the machine

Something like that. But I personally would just copy the /home/xbmc/.xbmc directory via SFTP to my computer, reinstall everthing (all on the 250GB drive since it's quite a lot faster). After having reinstalled everything again just copy back the /home/xbmc/.xbmc directory and you're all set.
