Perhaps the image can be made smaller with something like this?

dd if=/dev/disk5 | 7za a /atvimages/ATVLinux.7z -si

7za x /atvimages/ATVLinux.7z -so | dd of=/dev/sda5

LOL, it's starting from something pretty big. You might get another 5-10 percent but it's just not worth the hassle. It's going to be a big download no matter what you do.

Alright, it's up. Sorry I had a bit of a lie in hehe.

@matpol - no atv-bootloader configuration is necessary if using a USB (only if using the internal drive). Just restore the image and go!

Enjoy - sorry for the delays. If anyone wants to mirror the file, (actual filehost) not torrents and usenet please, then it'd be appreciated as Phil has not got back to me. I will upload to easy-share later.

No it's not. I'd prefer if you didn't. The reason for this is that I am likely to update this in the future (I will probably build a very core version in a few months). I don't want different versions floating around on UseNet with old CrystalHD drivers. It will be a source of endless questions and problems.

If you must upload it, go ahead, I just ask you keep the original RAR so people can check the md5 and see the comment referring them to this thread for support/updates.

@Sam.Nazarko - so its like livexbmc but with ubuntu? Excellent I had been gearing myself up to follow Davillas excellent instructions for livexbmc but now I guess I just need to wait to download this.
