Installation issues / Re: Install Error (New Download)

Yes I did verify the checksum.
I redownloaded just be sure to a different location.  Checksummed both DVD ISO's and both cam back perfect.

Version = LinuxMCE 0710 RC2

I then rewrote 2 DVD's at the lowest possible speed. From the Different locations and both have no failed at the same point (See Below).

I now get to after the section that says
(Tar: Read Checkpoint 37000)
I get a error that says "/usr/bin/lite-installer.sh : line 400 : /bin/mkdir: Input/Output Error.
I changed my DVD drive in the box and still the same error.

Machine Specs.
P4 2.4
2Gb Ram
120 Gb Hardrive
Intel Chip


I have run disk diags on the drive no bad sectors.

I have also tried the CD install.  Kubuntu (710) installs with no problem I always only get a hassle installing LinuxMCE.

Users / My First Install In SA

I live in South Africa and am gona build my first Linux MCE tonight.  I want ot be able to use hardware that is easily available and a little less expensive.  I have questions I would like answered before I start.

1) If I use a Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard will I be able to control the UI with it.

2) If Yes, Can I then still use the following functionality from Media Director to Media Director. 

3) Is there a cheaper alternative to the Hauppage Cards and the Gyro-Station remotes.

Both of which are pretty pricy to import and even more expensive here.
