Cool - pretty much identical to my XBMC Minimal installation notes. I like that you've cut it down a bit as well. Quite nice.
One thing I'd change is to install the latest nVidia Driver.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-190, instead of 185
I'll probably be sending this link to my friends who all fell in love when they saw XBMC on my ASRock.
Oh, and personally I'd make the part about the splash screen marked more clearly as an optional step. Some people (or well, me at least), quite like the boot debug info. Sometimes you can catch a few errors there - especially if you're using the box for anything besides XBMC.

What would need to be done to install XBMC Stable and not XBMC SVN? I am having way too many quirks and annoyances with 9.1 Alpha to actually use it on a daily basis (let alone my wife use it).
FYI my reasons for this vs just using Jaunty is that the modified PS3 bluez ppa's are currently only posted in Karmic format (I need my remote!).
I am by no means a Linux expert so I highly appreciate any help.
