My goal to setup the ultra was to make it run nicely on a internal hard drive and using hdmi connection. I had so many problems with just the xtreamer usb stick that I end up using openelecc for xbmc part.
So I used a ocz vertex 2 ssd - 120gb for the internal hdd. My guide should work for 60gb (40gb minimum if you conserve space)
