I am dual booting Karmic on my laptop and handle all commands to the ATV through that. I have been using karmic but I am going to go ahead and try Hardy. WOuld you suggest trying the minimal install through netbbot method or through the usb stick/iso method? I want to give this another go, because I don't like to be defeated by projects. Thanks for helping out thus far. I have been partitioning the drive while it was connected to the apple tv through SSH and a bootloader stick. It seems to be working well so far.
