I would doubt seriously that you would be able to build lirc on the liveUSB version. Anything is possible but it would probably involve more work than would be worth it. I haven't checked the ibex intrepid repos to see what version of lirc will be included. but hopefully it is at least .83 or .84 pre1

I have managed to get everything onto a small (1gb) hdd partition on my laptop, and can emulate everything booting up.. Ive made a script that replaces the 'usb' script, so that it KNOWS where to mount the filesystem from.. The problem im having though, is getting the new script into the initrd.img..
I extract is with 'gzip -dc initrd0.img |cpio -id' then put my script into the extracted files..
However, when i try to regenerate the initrd, i end up with a non working file..
Ive been using.. 'find dir -print |cpio -o |gzip >initrd-temp.img' as the command for this, and the resulting file seems valid... ie, its a gzipped cpio archive.. but the kernel doesnt seem to like it..
What commands are used to generate the original initrd img for XBMC LiveUSB ?
Thanks,

You shouldn't need to change any scripts. Just copy all files to your harddrive and run syslinux. What's important is that you get the hidden folder .disk over, as thats the one that tell the script that this is where xbmc is.

The usb drive seems to boot up and I get the XBMC initial screen but then it goes blank and I have a single underscore in the top left corner. I have tried no xorg.conf file and two different xorg.conf files but still the same result. Any clues?
