Ya know the funny thing is...
That was the Image I downloaded and it didn't screw up my stuff, I was hoping to resolve this quickish but I gave up the ubuntu/kbuntu Root managment BS wouldn't let me pull LIRC, either it couldn't get a lock or something or it got blacklisted.
So I returned back to my trusty copy of Gen2VDR-AE and although I wasn't expecting it, my stuff was still there.
I'm using a 1Tb Western Digital SATAII HDD, I didn't seem to have any installation problems I got as far as the Setup Screen on the eHD and KDE over VGA.
I think my problems are that I need to find out how to kill the Reelbox Front Panel (I don't have one!), and enable LIRC and LCDProc in it's stead.
But, if there's a way to get this all working on there distro I'm all for doing it!
