XBMC LiveUSB
I have released this new USB disk image of XBMC LiveUSB distro, together with an application that will hopefully help who had troubles in creating a boootable flash disk before.
SourceForge repository
The new image currently only supports NVIDIA graphics controllers out-of-the-box and has a modular design to ease updates to newer XBMC builds, (sorry but AMD/ATI graphics controllers are not yet supported).
Some info:
* Based on Ubuntu Embedded and Mobile (8.04 Hardy)
* Requires 512 MB USB flash disk
* Default user: "xbmc" - password: "password" (no quotes)
* Live R/W image, all changes are saved to the USB disk
* Supports Intel GPUs, remove/rename restrictedDrivers.img on the flash disk
* DHCP on eth0 enabled
* Nice XBMC usplash theme (courtesy of Duduke)!!!
Packages already included:
* lircd, not configured
* bluetooth libraries
* ivman included
The new toy, LiveXBMCBuilder, is used to automate the process of creating the bootable USB disk starting from the image file. Select the image file, the USB disk and everything will be prepared automatically.
As previously, don't expect support from Team-XBMC on this just yet, this is still an unofficial release!
