LinuxMCE-0810-alpha1 is a test release build from the sources available in the LinuxMCE-0810 branch of SVN. It is missing several components of which the sources are not publicly available.

Installation

1. Install Kubuntu Intrepid, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download Kubuntu 8.10 release)
2. Grab the latest installer script from here, unpack them and change into the freshly created new-installer directory.
3. Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
4. Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).

In other words, after installing Kubuntu and upgrading it etcetera:

sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha1.tar.bz2
tar xvf new-installer-alpha1.tar.bz2
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

Setup Diskless MD

1. On core from a terminal run sudo /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh
2. Boot MD
3. Rundiskless setup fails, but the device gets created
4. Change md to i386 in webadmin -> rebuild image
5. On the core
   1. Set a password for root on MD
      1. chroot /us/pluto/diskless/<##>
      2. run passwd.... enter password for root
6. On MD Switch to a terminal session
   1. Login to MD as root
   2. apt-get install nvividia-glx-177
