OK, I've installed Mythbuntu 10.04 on a VM and it was sailing pretty close to the 256MB of RAM available. However, I removed NetworkManager and a couple of other bits and pieces and it's now down to this: (with frontend running) 204MB used, plus 9MB swap used (without myth frontend) 169MB used, plus 9MB swap used
Process: apt-get remove xscreensaver networkmanager wpagui wpasupplicant modemmanager Then go to Applications - Settings - Session and Startup. I turned off gnome services, policykit, updatenotifier, secret storage... I don't know how I'd get it down to 100MB, but I'm guessing this will be good enough. I'll post back my results from the install on the atv.
