I *really* don't want to come off like a jerk by saying this, but really are you sure you want to go this route? You seem very new to Linux and command lines in general. This guide really is for a little more experienced users.
Unless there is a reason not to use it - I think Live might be a lot easier for you to get up and running.

Yes. However I suggest you do NOT follow this route and instead install Ubuntu and start learning linux command lines. You clearly are a n00b, no offense, and a guide like this is not for n00b's

Thanks for the reply both pyrates and xnappo. I am only 3 commands away from finish the guide. I used it long time ago and It was brain wash from mac. But got it finally. Thanks again.

Well if it works for you, good on ya. This proves to the xbmc devs that the guide works and they shouldn't have removed it.

I would like to know how the Alsa script breaks apt. I have used the Alsa Script on three machines, and I have my test machine setup with 3 different hard drives testing separate versions of xbmc and mini, Kubuntu and live and I have ran the script on all three and I can turn right around and run apt-get whatever and it works just fine. I HAVE NEVER had an issue with the script, OK maybe in the 2.6.24 kernel (snap) requirements.
I would think running a dist-upgrade 90% of the time is more apt (no pun intended) to BREAK something.
Good Run, Olympia.

Is there a guide on how to setup xbmc on ubuntu ? what i mean is how to get everything working like this guide? from what i could remember when i ran ubuntu i couldn't figure out how to install xbmc and get HMDI audio to work, how to get new nvidia drivers that work with my 8200 and VPDU.
What about XBMC live will this work on live http://wiki.foxmediasystems.com/index.php/Antec_Fusion_v2_Black_LCD ? and from what i see on live it uses older nvidia driver that doesn't work with VPDU on my 8200 can i upgrade it from live?
