[mythtv-users] PXE Boot .25 mythbuntu

[digidmyth]

I think that this is a problem more if Ubuntu 12.04 than it is with .25

For the short term I put a SSD in one of the front ends, and a small hard drive in the other. Menus sure are snappier on the hard drive.

Once installed, install mythbuntu-desktop and your good to go.
