since ubuntu have released their new version of ubuntu, they have done some housekeeping therefore our script or install method for installing gutsy 7.10 on our xbox-360's no longer works.
i have found a mirror in south africa but it doesnt contain the "release" file, and therefore still does not work.
does anyone know where we can get that gutsy from? were pretty much screwed now.

ok i found a mirror that appears to have everything i need. i have also found a site in brazil that is hosting the debootstrap package we need. i edited the script that stonersmurf made, and i have attached it below. for some reason this doesnt seem to work for me, could someone check it over?

ok, this appears to be working. its currently booted from the hard disk on sda2, and its now fetching the packages / files from the mirror i found.
i'll post back if it works or not.

Looks like that mirror has gone down too
Ive searched around but cannot find another. Does anyonehave any ideas how to install without the gutsy mirror?
TIA

scripts still working
change the url's to

so
wget http://ubuntu.interlegis.gov.br/ubuntu/poo...3build1_all.deb

you could upgrade tot newer releases
i try'd and got to the ubuntu 9.04 but lost the graphical interface the free60-xorg-video-xenosfb-0.0.5 fb driver doesn't work anymore try'd to recompile the driver but till now no succes
old driver is complaining over ABI changes
my next try will be gentoo with a 2.6.24.3 kernel the old xorg and the rest updated but not with gnome but with a xfce4 desktop and from there look futher for kernel and fb-driver upgrade

thx for that thc013.
Gonna try this later, when you said you got to 9.04 but no graphical interface could we go to version 8 without a problem??
If so how lol Im not a linux guru like some. Maybe another script

ok - just tested the above script and it appears ok. the only issue is during configuration the xorg.conf from stonersmurf's site got overwritten somehow and i had to download it again.. all appears OK apart from the resolution.. im stuck in 640 x 480 (same as i was in gentoo). Any ideas? Is this because im using a component connection?
there is now the xenosfb in git so if we gonna play with that
the problem with that that there are changes in xorg like abi changes etc
and that's I think a street to far for me but trial and error is also fun

Guys, excellent work!
I didn't realise there was an "old releases" section, so thank you.
Also, may be it is worth trying to get Yellow-Dog linux working. My reasoning is that this is supported on the PS3 and the PS3 has a similar CPU to the xbox-360.
Think we will still have the graphics issue though.

is there a way to make this offline?
like a cd installation?
or i need to compile first every single files needed?
