Update for future searchers!

I started fresh again and this time did not let kubuntu install the nvidia drivers.  And.......... IT WORKS!!

Wow!

I'm stumped now.  Just for giggles I tried running it in a vmware box with just about unlimited space.  It uses up about only 5gb before it stops at the same point.

I'm going to try downloading one more iso before giving up.  Maybe I'll try the DL iso.

Users / DVD Install - Tar errors, No space left on device

I've tried twice now, downloaded from different mirrors both times.  MD5 matched on both as well.
ISO:  LinuxMCE-DVD-i386.iso   

I'm getting stuck on "writing '/media/target/usr/pluto/install/./PlutoMD-amd64.tar.bz2' : No space left on device.

I'm installing to a 20gb drive, should be plenty of space..  :/

Guess I'll have to try to find another hard drive.  This PC is my current HTPC running Windows.  I wanted to try LinuxMCE out
and make sure it works before wiping it completely..

I may just try the reinstall again.  It was a vanilla install, with the exception of the nvidia drivers.

This system needs to be dual booted with windows.  It was my understanding this cannot be done with the DVD install method?

Thanks!

Getting this error with a blue screen with an okay button.  Cannot press okay.

Searched, and found someone with the same issue and sombody suggested this:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Display_Drivers

Now the system boots up and sits at "Startting UPNP media server fuppesd"   [OK]

I cannot switch to another terminal (ctrl-alt-Fx), ctrl-c does nothing, however ctrl-alt-del reboots the system.

Mobo/Video is:  Biostar Tforce 7050-M2, using onboard video with s-video out.  I've seen wiki entries with folks running this same setup.

[edit] I had a working install of Kubuntu before installing LinuxMCE.  I was using the "proprietary nvidia drivers" at that point.
