I'm not sure about your questions but if you have a spare hard drive or a seperate partition to install Ubuntu on, it'll install a bootloader at the end so your Windows MCE will still function.

On a sidenote, I'll be seeding the torrent shortly.

If you're able to get a copy online, I'll happily host a mirror of it.

well I'd imagine that PARTICULAR type of ram should work fine

Too many details dude The particular case you have most likely won't make a diff

Anyhoo, I've not tried it yet, and from the sounds of things a lot of people haven't but I have a very similar spec system so anyone who's given it a go and has any matching components, let us know!

Ta!

Users / LinuxMCE 1.0 Installer Torrent

« on: March 22, 2007, 05:21:04 pm »

Hi Guys,

I managed to get the Installer before it was pulled from the site and I've created a torrent for it.

I'm not sure whether it's any use or not without the ISO. It does have the option to get it to download the files it needs from the internet, however, I tried this and spotted a few errors, and couldn't see a way to launch it or anything (I am very new to Linux so I might be missing the obvious) but I guess it may be worth a try.
Now the sites working the files that were missing when I was trying may now be available but I can't test it right now.

Please note that this is not for the ISO of LinuxMCE, just the small installer

Anyway here's the links. Hopefully they'll be useful!

PirateBay: Torrent Page
Mininova: Torrent Page

EDIT: For those who have come here through the torrent sites, or are regulars here, hondaman has kindly provided a mirror for the direct download of the file.
I have also put it on one of my domains so you should be able to get it from either of us easily now.

Hondaman: http://www.bloodshotgamer.com/honda/mce-installer_1.0.0-1_i386.deb

Enjoy!

Hi,

I managed to download the installer before it was pulled from the site but when I got around to trying it (after it had been pulled from the site) it seems only some bits downloaded because I never was able to get it working.

It does offer the option to use an ISO as the installation source but I couldn't get that so had to try the download necessary files from the internet option and I'm pretty sure there were a few file not found errors so I guess we'll have to wait until the ISO's put up
