It would be great if your script could handle that. I tried Ununtu install, and adding OpenELEC, following the posted instructions on Kodi forums (or OE forums), but it did not quite work. Not an expert in Linux, but I was hoping to install OE, and afterwards let something like Mint, install it and have Mint offer and set up a dual boot for me. I know in WIndows/Linux dual boots, one always does windows first, would be great if we could do OE first, and some cool Linux distro afterwards. I know I would be thankful!

In that case, install OpenELEC first in standalone mode, then boot the Ubuntu/Mint/whatever installer, and have it resize the 2nd partition to use as much as you need (OE only needs a gig or two for the 2nd partition). Whatever Linux distro you install should have you install GRUB and allow you to select which OS to boot at startup, but that sort of configuration is an exercise left to the user, and not something I intend to ever add to my script.
