Based on the subject line of this thread and from reading the initial post, I'm unclear as to what the pros/cons of following this How-To versus this one:
http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52259

The OP even referenced that other How-To in the 1st page of this thread and that How-To was first posted about a month before this thread was started, so I would assume that there are advantages to one vs the other that I'm not understanding (I'm a Linux noob, BTW). It seems like that other How-To installs things via the desktop, whereas this one does more through the terminal window or putty. I'm in the process of installing Ubuntu Desktop right now (for the 2nd time) and am trying to figure out which How-To I should try (I'm leaning towards this one which is why I'm posting this here and not in that other thread).

FWIW, I have an Acer AspireRevo w/Windows XP. I'm keeping the XP partition (for now anyway), which is why I couldn't use XBMC Live (I used it to install to a USB stick but that keeps getting corrupted).

For the purpose of the instructions given in the original post, is the Acer Revo essentially equivalent to the Asrock?

Also, I followed the instructions here when creating my partitions, but I'm just curious why it's important not to set the mount point of the storage partition during the install?

Lastly, the How-To advises to set up auto-login after the first time you boot up into Ubunutu Desktop, but the installation process gives you the option to set auto-login at that time, so I did that. If there's some significance to that, let me know. Otherwise, perhaps you might want to tweak the How-To to indicate that auto-login can be checked off during the installation wizard.
