l.capriotti Wrote:you can, but you will need to take into account that in order for EnvyNG to work you need a full build environment; I tried it myself and the additional packages needed 400 MB of additional disk space....
Bottom line: I went for the NVIDIA installer directly and built the binary modules. This means that LiveXBMC kernel can NOT be upgraded via apt-get since Xorg will break, but I found this to be acceptable for a sort of "embedded system"
Nonetheless, if you want to try yourself create a LARGE loopfile, replace the existing ext3fs.img and install whatever is needed.

davilla Wrote:l.capriotti, I don't remember seeing "nvidia-xsettings" on the LiveXBMC. This greatly helps in auto configuring xorg.conf for nvidia cards.should be there; can't check right now, though
djdafreund Wrote:Only thing i noticed so far is you can't shut down, shutdown exits XBMC, then shows the nVidia BETA driver screen for a couple seconds again, then runs XBMC again.I remember amending the skin modifying the xml files and including syscalls to shutdown. I may have forgotten to include it in the release, will double check.
