Thank you.. I have been using the nightly build the whole time. I think I figure it out... when I do the install, it asks if I want to use GPT partitions. I have been choosing yes because it seems the alternative was not suggested.... well I finally chose not to use GPT and I think that fixed the problem.
But now t he new problem..... do I have to do anything special to use the built in IR. I was under the impression that it responded to the MCE commands. I have found the MCE pronto commands and I can send these codes to the NUC but I get no response. Is there an additional step I am missing?
Thanks for all your help!
