Where can I get more involved in this project. I have similar goals and I want to start working on them, but I have some disagreements with some of the dev concepts.

== USB instructions ==
 
There aren't adequate USB installation instructions. This is really vague. There should be clear instructions for creating a bootable USB drive. I've tried dd to write the ISO to a flash drive and running syslinux and install-mbr against it. Still no dice. —[[User:Sidewaysmilk|sidewaysmilk]] 00:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 
This is what it currently says.
#Download the ISO image, burn it just like any ISO image to a CD-R/RW.
#If you going to install to USB then first disconnect all USB storage devices that you do not want to install to.
#Boot your computer on the CD-R/RW and follow the instructions on the screen.
*If you choose to install to USB then make sure that you do not set the permanent storage area to "None" as it will then not save any settings or changes you make after a reboot.
 
== More about USB Instructions ==
 
I agree with the person above, the instructions are poor.  Furthermore, requiring a CD first rather defeats the purpose.  I want to run this on a completely diskless system: no HD, no CD/DVD.  So either: (a) Is there a procedure to create a bootable USB that does not require a CD first; or (b) Can the procedure to create the bootable USB be run on a completely different computer with a completely different configuration from the one that will run XMBC?  I.e., does the process that installs from CD to USB ascertain system configuration and set up drivers or config files?  If it does, that's no good at all, people will need a procedure to create bootable USBs with no CD involvement.
 
This appears to be good instructions to install from a flashdrive without burning an ISO disk [http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/xbmc-ion/module/1 Instructions from Mini-itx.com]. I plan on trying this myself when my Nettop arrives tomorrow :-) -[[User:Bwade83|Bwade83]] 15:14, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 
==Proper USB instructions==
Because of these two comments above that USB instructions WERE poor, I fixed it - No more problem its been fixed [[Create_and_install_from/to_a_bootable_USB_flash_drive|Create and install from/to a bootable USB flash drive]]--uNiversal 03:47, 24 December 2012 (EST)

Hardware requirement

XBMCbuntu minimum and recommended hardware requirements

Mimimum Required Hardware for XBMC
CPU GPU RAM OpenGL SSE HDD/SDD Optical
Intel Pentium 4
Intel Pentium M
AMD Athlon XP/64
AMD Opteron


  • x86 (Intel/AMD-based) processor computer capable of booting to CD-ROM.
Note: ATI Radeon cards lower than HD5xxx are not supported with Ubuntu & variants 12.10 which is XBMCbuntu's base system due to changes in ATI's drivers. A workaround is to Install XBMCbuntu beta2 and upgrade XBMC using ppa or compile from source
