The minimalist approach

Well sometimes in any field of science there is an amount of trial and error. In my case we can call this computer science and in this particular case we have more error than trial.
It looks like whatever it was I did to the boot of this system has rendered it un-bootable. Not a total loss though, I've been looking forward to trying a minimal install of Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
The reason for choosing the previous version of Ubuntu; more support for XBMC.
This is good for a few reasons.
- Smaller more efficient install and thus more space for content.
- More support for XBMC and libraries.
- I get to watch an old style ASCII installation screen, something I haven't seen in years.

While I continue this re-install enjoy a low quality cell phone picture of my system partition being setup.
