Prior: LMCE Beta 1 - issues:

                    TV overscan (solved)
                    Subtitles (not solved)

Now: Beta 2 - time to start all over again - learned with Beta 1.

Installation:

Kubuntu 8.10 -> apt-get update

            -> apt-get upgrade
            -> apt-get dist-upgrade
            -> update Alsa to Alsa 1.0.21-4
            All done with the VGA monitor.
            LCD TV is also connected to the mobo's HDMI video output.
            Running nvidia-settings, LCD TV identified. 
            After all is done (installations and reboots), KDE shows up, i disconnect the vga cable, hit CTRL-ALT-Backspace and
            the video output is redirected to HDMI. 
            First problem: video overscan issue nvidia-settings shows an overscan ruler. Save conf to ~/.nvidia-settings-rc
            HDMI Sound works (KDE welcome sound) - it hearts on TV.

LMCE Beta 2 install from internet.

            reboot
