Here's a few commands from my script that strips out a few things from 9.10. You may already have some/all removed but just in case. Note, if you remove gdm.conf make sure you have mythfrontend/X starting another way.

rm /etc/init/avahi-daemon.conf
rm /etc/init/gdm.conf
rm /etc/init/ufw.conf
rm /etc/init/apport.conf
rm /etc/init/anacron.conf
rm /etc/rcS.d/S13pcmciautils
rm /etc/rcS.d/S37apparmor
mv /etc/rc2.d/S20kerneloops /etc/rc2.d/K80kerneloops
mv /etc/rc2.d/S25bluetooth /etc/rc2.d/K75bluetooth
mv /etc/rc2.d/S50cups /etc/rc2.d/K50cups
mv /etc/rc2.d/S50rsync /etc/rc2.d/K50rsync
mv /etc/rc2.d/S50saned /etc/rc2.d/K50saned
mv /etc/rc2.d/S70dns-clean /etc/rc2.d/K30dns-clean
mv /etc/rc2.d/S70pppd-dns /etc/rc2.d/K30pppd-dns
mv /etc/rc2.d/S99acpi-support /etc/rc2.d/K01acpi-support
mv /etc/rc2.d/S99laptop-mode /etc/rc2.d/K01laptop-mode

rm /etc/init/tty2.conf /etc/init/tty3.conf /etc/init/tty4.conf /etc/init/tty5.conf /etc/init/tty6.conf /bin/sed -i -e 's/^ACTIVE_CONSOLES="\/dev\/tty\[1-6\]"/ACTIVE_CONSOLES="\/dev\/tty\[1\]"/' /etc/default/console-setup

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.

I was running Mythbuntu 8.04 on my appleTV for a couple years and had
to upgrade when I upgraded my server to 10.04. I just assumed that
installing a fresh copy of Mythbuntu 10.04 would be the smart thing to
do. Maybe I should have researched a little more.

The install went fairly smoothly, it is up and running and
communicating with the server. Both HD and SD content plays well
except a blip every 5 seconds or so. I figured it had to do with the
gpu clocking. I can't seem to set the speed through the command line
or in a script, but it does work using the nvidia-settings GUI, but
even then the blips continue.

I have seen a lot of swapping, but I was hoping that was because I was
running other programs as well (terminal, nvidia-settings) and
normally I would only be running the front end.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to "slim" it down? Or should I
just jump to 9.04 or 9.10?

Thanks!
