Here are the steps I have used to install XBMClive. At the time of writing, all these steps have worked for me.
Download the latest build of XBMC. I have used the standard Dharma version 10.0 which can be found here.
Because the Revo 3700 doesn’t have a CD rom drive, To install XBMC we need to create a bootable thumb drive. While many people use Unetbootin for this, it is unsuitable for the Revo as during the installation Unitbootin will ask for a CD-Rom. So instead, we will use Linux Live USB Creator. At the time of writing this, I used the 2.7 Beta which has support for XBMC, and installed XBMC without any problems.
Plug your tumb drive in, Install and run Linux Live USB Creator, selecting XBMCLive as the source. This will take a little while.
Now plug your thumb drive into the Revo, and boot it up. The revo will automatically start the install procedure for XBMC. At one stage it will ask for you to set a user name and password – This is required later when we need to configure the Revo’s Wi-fi connection through the terminal. So make a note of that password!
The installation is a fairly easy procedure. Once it has finished, remove the thumb drive and restart the revo. It will require you to enter that password on your first boot – But don’t worry, it won’t require it again unless you wish to access the terminal.
All done! The next tutorial (Which I am still yet to write) will explain how to get your wi-fi connection up and running.
In part 2, we will connect the Revo to a wifi network.
