After finished every step in the howto and reboot, I see a corrupted screen at first and a blank screen follow. I restart the system again and the gnome gui console show up as usual and I found xmbc process in the "ps ax" list but no xmbc main screen show up anywhere. Any hints?

Btw. I find it funny, if you follow an exact howto to build a house and exchange the basement from cement to sand :-)
I really don't want to exchange the basement, problem is that the mini.iso failed to install. Your advice on how to fix this will be much appreciated. Can I simply disable the login manager (how) or re install with the server distribution (I know this one won't bring up login manager but I am afraid X is not available as well..). Please note that I have to pick a full install package but not the mini.iso because the mini.iso failed in the detect network hardware phase, probably due to unable to detect the embedded network card of the laptop. Many thanks for your advice in advanced.
