I just copied the files from svn XBMC/tools/XBMCLive to the appropriate locations and pared down the /etc/init.d/xbmc script, removing all the unnecessary fs mounting stuff. (Literally I pared it down to stop usplash, runXBMC.sh)
Love that idea. Make sense. Could you please send me your stripped version of /etc/init.d/xbmc?

[ OK ]" which is a pretty early-on message in the boot sequence. I prolly just messed it up somehow, but since it only seems to delay the boot process, I'm looking to remove usplash all together for now.
Same here. It wasn't like that before. I think that was introduced at a certain version of nvidia driver. Although I don't think it is delaying boot, but we definitely should figure this out.

Perhaps that is because I did it 20 times (approx) before getting things setup the way I liked... anyway, I used the 8.10 alternate install cd. The steps were the exact same, same menus, etc and I didn't have to wait to download packages. I guess I'd just rather do a "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" post-install.
Never tried that. I will have a look on that.
