XBMC - Installation (part 1)

I bought EEE Box these days to setup a media center at home. I used XBMC Live to install it from USB key to HDD. It was a bit of pain as EEE Box won't boot up from USB key by its own. The USB key must be present at the boot. In the bios must be set that USB key should act as fictianl HDD, then in the boot menu it is possible to set the USB key as HDD to boot from.

On the next system restart the machine booted properly from USB key. On initial XBMC screen I opted for installation to HDD and all went smoothly. Afterward I changed bios settings again to boot from SATA drive and all went smoothly.

I continued with some installation maintenance as I wanted to use BlueTooth keyboard, etc...
