LinuxMCE-0810 alpha1

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
