== Get XBMCbuntu running ==
* get latest XBMCbuntu image from the [http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/XBMCbuntu/ download site], get the Intel/NVIDIA version (the version name applies to GPU, not CPU)
* install to USB drive as per [http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Create_and_install_from/to_a_bootable_USB_flash_drive these instructions]
* boot will fail and hang on black screen with non-moving mouse pointer, see [http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=158906&page=3 this thread]
** hold SHIFT during initial boot to get grub
** add 'i915.i915_enable_rc6=0' to the kernel line (after splash)
** F10 for boot, but this change will not stick
* edit /etc/boot/grub to ad the same line to
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
:: change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=0"
save file, then then
sudo update-grub
== Fix SSH ==
* enable sshd, there is a problem with pre-installed keys. Also make sure the login has a password (done during install)
