Linux XBMCbuntu install issues

shame you cannot install without a mouse - the previous installer worked fine using only a keyboard and TAB to each field.

Would quite like a fully text based installer.

What is this 120x120 install option?

Yes, that is I mean with strange, there is two paths to get to the installation....I am not 100% sure but I think if you click anything else than enter at the first screen with a keyboard and a strawman you the wrong one. Try again and you should get a list with more options in.
This one is gona be a trainwreck in the forum for the coming year

As said above, the 120x120 install option works flawlessly =)

When booting, press enter when the two icons show up at the bottom of the screen, then choose 120x120pixel installation choice.

I get that, but it's not immediately obvious to everyone. It should either go to a menu with a countdown to default or give clear instructions like 'press enter for boot option menu' instead of a fairly ambiguous screen with a couple of icons on it.

I have the same problem as the original poster. I have super-huge fonts and the windows are too big. I tried to tab around but I need to do some partitioning and couldn't see the correct buttons. I hit the ENTER button when the two icons appeared to try to find the 120x120 install option. I couldn't find anything that looked like 120x120. Where is it supposed to appear? I tried all of the menus at the bottom and didn't see anything close.

cant find this other install option - small text is driving me absolutely nuts!

as written above there is two paths to the installation. If you get two big icons your are in the wrong one.
You need a list where one option is "install with fixed dpi".

You get that by pressing enter in the initial screen with a keyboard and straw man icon.
