Go there and download the ISO. Then Burn it to a disk. Run it. When it loads press B and look throgh the menus untill you see loopback install. Hit that and follow the steps. Then when its done take the disk out and reboot. Then using your dashes file manager go to E:\KNOPPIX and launch the XBE from there and then choose FatX from the next menu and it will load. From then on all you have to do is launch the xbe and choose fatX and it will run. Have fun! smile.gif

DjChad
any help?? i just want the 20gig harddrive to have a full linux install like i dont want it to be able to play games anymore thats why i have the bigger harddrive setup so i can switch between them when i want to use xdsl and the bigger one for when i want to have a xbox you understand??

If you want to do that just Get the drive you want and put it in and when you go to install it choose Native install. That will take over One of your Partitions. But thats all i can think of. FatX just means Thats the partition that the OS is on. and You can run it from an apps folder. Thats what i do.

what does the fatx mean

This is the filesystem used on standard Xbox partitions. It is based on FAT used in DOS/Windows

If you have an apps folder you will be given the option of coping XCromwell (the bootloader) here. Whether this turns up on your dashboard has nothing to do with X-DSL and is entirely down to the configuration of the dashboard.

If you want to dedicate the entire 20GB to a Linux partition then you need to use Cromwell as your BIOS. Any hacked MS BIOS will require that the standard Xbox partitions C,E,X,Y,Z exist. If you want to go down this route you'll also need to create the partitions you want manually as the native install routine for X-DSL assumes you wish to keep C,E,X,Y and Z.
