AWESOME WORK! I haven't had a chance to test it yet (I need to do a reformat first), but this is very good news to those who are trying to get their controllers working and aren't too knowledgeable on linux.
When you said that your script appends certain files, are you referring to steps 6b and 7b in my original post? If so, I know how to resolve it for at least 6b. That step was only necessary because my directions assumed you were using the tarball from the original dropbox URL. I think you could instead take the SH file after editing then re(zip?) into a new tarball and host that one instead.
With regards to the RC.local file, I'm not sure there's really anything that can be done to avoid adding more lines when running it multiple times, but I guess you could somehow check for the words "xboxdrv_for_XBMC_live.9.04.jaunty.sh" and if it exists, then don't write anything to the file. Keep in mind, I know nothing about coding and have no idea how you would do this.
I plan on reformatting soon to verify a Launcher fix for a bug I submitted anyway, so this will be a good opportunity to test your script. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks again for your work on this.

OK I just tried to test this, but I'm either having a noob moment or something's not working. I used wget to get the file but it seemingly won't run. don't I just type 'xboxdrv.sh' in via ssh if I'm in the home directory already?
