I did suss out how to edit the loader, but i dont know sweet fa about linux, so most of the time im just stabbing buttons.
Now i have managed to install ok, i just created a blank unformatted space 500gb, ran the installer an selected free space, so its booting to XBMC fine with the loader menu and what not, it created a 173gb partiton, dunno why, but that suits me as i have some free for working with the pc, so that will do, guess i can always resize in the future.
Now its done that stupid thing of setting up my ip address by dhcp again, i like it fixed 192.168.0.11 on the laptop, so i need to edit that.
So things i now need to do
1: Edit IP address, although it will probally be easier to re-install i suspect lol
2: Install the ATI graphics thingy so i can use scaling to get rid of the border
3: Not sure if my laptop display still stays on, it didnt in windows but will have to set it all up to see.
I think at the moment thats it, so ill start with the ip address.....
