LinuxMCE install

[Thomas Charron]

  Well, my first reaction to LinuxMCE is it's a great way to spend a
day in an idiot proof install, only to have nothing happen.  :-)

  Installed stock Ubuntu, and installed the LinuxMCE installer.  This
added an icon to my desktop to install.  Ran install.

  After reboot, asked me a few questions about video and sound.  Answered.

  Now, I have a machine that boots up, starts X, and runs the LinuxMCE
startup screen, which goes forth and does 'stuff' without much
feedback as to what, beside's configuring itself.  After that, a blank
screen.  Nothing.

  What's worse, I can't access a console to try to figure out myself
what's going on.  It did set up a web server, which prompts me to add
a new user.  Doesn't seem to do much, just hangs at Create New User
unfortionatly.

  I suspect I chose something wrong, but I can say this much.  It
isn't happy.  :-D
