<hr />
<div>== Important ==<br />
<br />
Read the [[Known_Issues|Known Issues]] page first. There are some warnings to Ubuntu users who have already modified their Ubuntu installation or customized their .conf files that LinuxMCE will override their changes.<br />
<br />
== Getting help ==<br />
<br />
In addition to the usual community options like forums, for the moment a few volunteers have agreed to provide [[Tech_Support|live tech support via Yahoo/Skype]] to identify common installation problems so they can be fixed in the next release.<br />
<br />
== Reading before installing LinuxMCE ==<br />
<br />
Before installing LinuxMCE, I suggest reading [[What_To_Expect|What to expect]] which says exactly what sequences and equipment was used to setup my whole home media + automation system as shown in the demo video, and warns what are the pitfalls you may run into.<br />
<br />
Also read:<br />
<br />
The [[Installation_Guide|Detailed step-by-step instructions for installing LinuxMCE]] which has step-by-step instructions on installing Ubuntu and LinuxMCE.<br />
Then the short [[Architecture_Intro|Architecture Intro]] which explains what pc's you'll need to install software on and how they all work together.<br />
Then there's a [[QuickStart_Guide|Quick Start Guide]] which explains how to set the video and audio settings using the AV Wizard, and to add devices to LinuxMCE with the Setup Wizard.<br />
The [[Usage_Intro|Usage Intro]] is a quick primer on how to use LinuxMCE once it's installed.<br />
<br />
LinuxMCE is a huge program with lots of features that you won't even notice right away, and the wiki already has a ton of pages which I imported from existing sources when I launched LinuxMCE, such as the original [[User's_Manual|User's Manual]] and [[Programmer's_Guide|Programmer's Guide]]. I found most of these docs weren't well organized and some of the data isn't up to date. But it's a wiki and all pages are open for editing, so hopefully this will improve.<br />
<br />
== Getting the CD's ==<br />
<br />
As explained in the [[Installation_Guide|Installation Guide]] You need 2 cd's to install LinuxMCE, which you can get here:<br />
<br />
1) Ubuntu 6.10 desktop live cd. For now Linux MCE can only be installed on top of the Ubuntu 6.10 distribution of Linux, which is available [http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/6.10/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso here].<br />
<br />
2) The LinuxMCE install cd, which is available on these [[Mirrors]].<br />
<br />
== The LinuxMCE installer ==<br />
<br />
Once you have already burned the LinuxMCE install cd, and finished installing Ubuntu 6.10, here is the installer application you run from within Ubuntu to install LinuxMCE:<br />
