Let me start off by saying I have used XBMC Live for only a little while now. I can boot from the Live cd v9.11 with no problems.
I recently tried to install to a USB Drive but I am a little confused. When I boot the CD I have an option "Install XBMC Live to Disk" but no option to install to USB which I have heard others talk about.
If I choose this "Install XBMC Live to Disk", I am asked to enter language and country. I then am presented with a partition screen with various partitioning methods but none that mention USB.
I was however able to go to manual and choose mu USB drive. I then choose a EXT4 format and was able to get it installed.
When I boot from USB now I get 2 options:
Ubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.31-16-generic
Ubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.31-16-generic (recovery mode)
When I choose the first XBMC starts without issue. Could someone please tell me if I have performed the install correctly? I though it was supposed to be a very quick and automated procedure?
