You will need a SD card greater than 2G. I've done a fresh install of Beta 1.1 and upgraded to Beta 1.2. Ran apt-get autoremove and /dev/mmcblk0p2 is at 93% (100M free). With snapshot running, and a few modifications, it won't be long before the card is full and all sorts of weird things starts happening!!

you can remove the stock @safe snapshot for root and home. this can make over 500-700MB free again.

I'm just thinking that this could be a new install popup during first xbian-config launch. some explanations and question "do you want to keep or delete it"...

I'll try again from a fresh beta 1.1 install as i have been messing around prior to your post.

the first two packages will only install toolset which allows you to easy "fork" your beta1.1 to beta2 (beta1.1 install preserved). you can then reboot into this new "fork" and run beta2 updates on it. this has the advantage that if any package / update what's ever make your install not working as expected, you just edit cmdline.txt and without ref lash, repartitioning or other time consuming tasks you revert / reboot into the initial beta1.1 - while your xbmc settings / DB get's preserved.
