Boxee by itself... :)

So, I eventually gave up on compiling on Arch Linux, and was starting to despair, because Ubuntu is too bloated for just a media center OS. THEN, it came to me. You can set up a super low requirement Ubuntu Minimal system... In which I did... After some small tweaks and configuring, I came up with around a 700 megabyte distro, total.. with some packages still in the catch, with a fully running boxee system... And it's just amazing :).. When I get some more tweaks and autoconfigs/splash running, I'll post a small guide :)

FYI; http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=388
know that Team-XBMC is currently working behind the scene on a Live CD and Live USB version of XBMC, (based on a stripped down Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded)), which similar to the GeeXboX (http://www.geexbox.org) concept will let you install XBMC complete with a embedded (embedded = hidden away) Linux operating-system onto a >2GB USB Mass Storage device, , (or even just run directly from the CD for demo purposes). The point of which is that the computer after installation to a USB flash memory will act just like a stand-alone set-top-box, booting directly into XBMC without the end-user knowing which operating-system it is running on (or even that it is running on an operating-system at all). This 'XBMC Live' solution will be tweaked for optimized boot-time and easy of use out-of-the-box, with as little configurations as possible needed from the users to get it fully up and running.

We at Team-XBMC hope that Boxee will re-use our 'XBMC Live' OS framework, preferably using the exact same code (and maybe even work directly in our XBMC SVN with us), so that we together can collaborate on improving and enhancing it to meet the requirements for the majority of our end-users in an 'one-fits-all' solution.
