But when you boot, you get the option to install or use Live CD like with UbuntuCD? Or maybe I missunderstand what you mean.
I guess we should move this outside the sticky before someone get upset?

I won't get upset.... and it's my thread....
all jokes aside, I think this would be a very relevant part of the first post. I have made the image this afternoon but have been too tied up with Wimbledon and then Top Gear to test it.... so we'll see what tomorrow morning brings!

OK.. when I 'burn' my iso to SD using:
dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
The system can see the SD card in the boot menu, but cannot actually boot to it. This happens when I try it from Linux and also from my Mac. Any ideas?

I am not good enough with linux to know what you are doing, but it is normally not possible to get a bootable HD or USB by burning an ISO.
I am using the usb creator in Ubuntu 9.04.default. I am guessing you have to apt-get usb-creator. I have no idea how to run it in command line though...

Because it gained 7 pages in 7 days and the talk of the last weeks was definitely ION and how to stick xbmc onto it. I did not receive a con after asking some teammembers, so i sticked it.
If you're not ok with that - why didn't you unstick/move it?

followed your guide to a T
works perfectly, and all me judder probs gone now on 1080p stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD COMPILE A LIVE VERSION OF THIS
make it so much easier to install for the revo`s and any other ion based boards.
couple of things to note though.
audio settings for me involved usingg both `hdmi`in the settings.
and i had to install `lirc` to get me remote working.
When i say all my judder problems have gone, the judder is still there, but from being almost unwatchable on some stuff its gone to hardly noticable 99% of the time.
Many many many thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

I used this guide for my mini-ITX install and it worked very well. One question though, unlike the Live install, there's no EventClients folder that I can find; is it just not created? I did find the xbmc-* commands in /usr/bin, but on the Live version there's a /home/xbmc/EventClients (I think that's the path) folder housing all of the python scripts. I spent a bunch of time looking for the ps3d.py script in hopes of using it to get my PS3 BD remote to work. I eventually gave up and downloaded the script by itself.
Aside from that, it's a very nice process, thanks to the OP for posting.

Okay, I have to revise my statement. I cannot get any audio over HDMI. I've tried the plughw:hdmi setting and all I get when I go to play a file is an information popup stating that my audio device could not be initialized. I'm going to try the plughw:0,3 option. Is there a way to tell which subdevice has which number?
