This is the DEBIAN xbox-linux
You see some iso images.
0.3.1.iso:
This image is for installing.
boot_vesa.iso: ( old xbeloader and vesafb driver )
boot_riva.iso: ( new xromwellloader and rivafb driver )
This images are for starting an native
partition installation.
boot_fatx_vesa.iso: ( old xbeloader and vesafb driver )
boot_fatx_riva.iso: ( new xromwellloader and rivafb driver )
This images are for booting an installation
from the e: partition.
For burning the cd you can use cdrecord as follow:
cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -dao -driveropts=burnfree -speed=4 <image>.iso
If you dont know the devicenumber of your burner use
cdrecord -scanbus
Default netconfig of the Debian cd after the first startup.
IP : 192.168.0.2
NETMASK : 255.255.255.0
Starting the installation :
If you have burned the install image boot it on your
XBox and wait until you are on the login.
At this point you have the coice between an local
installation via usb keyboard or using the network.
For using the network you need an ssh client to connect
to the XBox.
For the login use the username root and the password
xbox for login. The next step is to start the installation
programm. It is called XBOXLinuxInstall . Here you can select
the installation method.
"Installing XBOXLinux inside the Game Partition":
This installs linux in an file on the e: partition.
If you select this you will be asked for the filesize of
the swap and the rootfs file.
The maximum filesize for the rootfs is 2000 MB.
"Installing XBOXLinux in the unused space of the HDD":
This will install linux in a native partition after the e:
partition. This partition is also called f:. The original f:
partition will be overwritten. So backup data if you have
some on it.
Now the installation begins. This take some time.
Wait until the next dialog apears.
After the copy of the files is finished the installer ask
you some basic questions of the networksetup.
Now you can reboot the XBox and burn the right bootcd.
Remember:
boot_fatx.iso -> Game Partition installation
boot.iso -> unused space of the HDD
Video problems :
If you have video problems make the following:
Use boot_fatx_vesa.iso instead of boot_fatx_riva.iso
or boot_vesa.iso instead of boot_riva.iso.

lemme get this straight.........you first burn one of the iso's depending on your installation choice to a cd-rw or dvd+r. (what i was wondering is if you are supposed to do that the ISO's are like 5mb in total) then once that is done you burn the rest of the files to a cd-rw or DVD+r then install right.......................also i still wouldnt have a clue how to do the network install (being thr one im going to do)

If you're going to be doing the network install,(using linux to network to the xbox) then I can't see how this install is so hard. Also,if you want the easy way out in getting linux on your xbox....why don't you go for the GentooX with Sparkle. There's an easy autoloader that you can use...if your bios supports it.

Hey
You need to wait, and somebody will help. If you are pushy and say basically 'Help me right now' people wont. People dont get paid, they do it out of their good will.
Now.
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~ranma1/linux_install.html
There is documentation on how to, with screenshots.
