Got everything installed fine now, but once it restarts it goes straight into the terminal, why would it do this?

Have you downloaded xbmscript and installed xbmc? does /etc/init.d/xbmc-live exist? What kind of hardware do you have?

Hi!
Great work, but I have some noob-questions.
I made a fresh install and have chosen the stable release. But how can I upgrade to the latest release? Can I run your script again?
When I choose "Exit XBMC" I can write something, but nothing will happen. :/
*attention total linux noob*
Will I be able to add two HDDs later?

This has todo with the feature sets. 190 is the latest and pretty stable, you should go with that. The other 2 I've kept in the list are mainly for compatibility reasons :-)
i don't know about the keyboard, try a regular one if in doubt.

Even if I wasted an entire Sunday... I solved my problem.
Before running the Script, I installed a desktop:
sudo aptitude -y install xserver-xorg-core xinit menu menu-xdg jwm fluxbox alsa-utils mrxvt gdebi-core synaptic logrotate localepurge
Then, I fixed the issue with the fn-Key on the Mac-Keyboard:
Opened a terminal: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
Added this line to the opened file: options hid_apple fnmode=2 and saved it.
Terminal: sudo update-initramfs -u
Then I started your script and installed the stable build. Thanks to the previously fixed keyboardsetting I was able to start the terminal: (right) CTRL + (left) ALT + F2
Tomorrow I will reinstal everything with an normal PC-Kayboard. But I have defeated the ugly Apple-Linux-Dragon on my own. :lol:

Nope, since xbmc-live is already pre-configured.
