What the hell? why was it removed?
I used that guide to get a minimal install of ubuntu 8.04 with xbmc installed. I didn't like the release version because it wasn't a true media center. It was an addon and I'd much rather follow that guide and compile it from scratch. Not to mention I used the guide to get vpdau which is NOT in the current release version. Also I have reported several bugs already that have been fixed using that and I'm glad to.
If you're gonna remove the guide because of what was in it, don't. Tell us what needed to be fixed. Removing it is not the answer for people like me who depended on that guide. Plus the downloads that were in that guide did work. I had very few issues with it. Plus it's not like it was publicly editable. Only sysops could edit it, so that arguement about the downloads part goes out the window.
Edit: for those that need it, here's the link to the last change before it was removed

If I were you, I would save that html page so that you can refer to it later.
