Re-installing LinuxMCE on Core
So, starting over.
2 Drives in the Core HDA HDB
Started out with a 10.04.4 LTS partition on HDA Decided to try to keep the 10.04.4 LTS partition in case I want to boot back to it (it works)
Resized ext3 file system in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)
ARgh. So, I managed to overwrite the 10.04.4 partition. Next time will just be a complete hda overwrite.
Logged into desktop
Ran new-installer.sh

Main AV stack
Equipment:

- 3x HTD MC-66 Multi-Zone Controller (link)
- 3 USB-Serial PL-2303 for connectivity
- 3x HTD DMA-1240 High Efficiency Multi-Channel Amplifier (link)
Current Issues
Currently figuring out how best to control the AV stack with LinuxMCE.
RS-232 interface to MC-66
Will need to write a GSD interface for the MC-66 if not already supported.
