FTP Install

If you don't wish burn XDSL onto a cd and have the ability to ftp to you Xbox, it is possible to simply copy across the required files. Create a directory E:\KNOPPIX on your Xbox. Extract linux24, minirt24.gz and the KNOPPIX file (found in the KNOPPIX subdirectory) from the iso and copy them into this directory. You should be left with the following files:
E:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIXE:\KNOPPIX\linux24E:\KNOPPIX\min irt24.gz
There should be no subdirectories in E:\KNOPPIX. The filenames are case sensitive.
Now create a file E:\linuxboot.cfg with the following content:
title XDSLkernel KNOPPIX/linux24initrd KNOPPIX/minirt24.gzappend root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init rw video=xbox:640x480 frugal quiet kbd-resetFinally if you are not using the Cromwell BIOS copy default.xbe somewhere where you can run it from your Xbox. Then run Cromwell/default.xbe to boot XDSL. If you then want to peform a loopback/native install simply select your desired option in the Apps, Tools menu

Basically here is the file structure:
E:\KNOPPIX\ (No sub directories and should contain everything but the default.xbe and linuxboot.cfg)
E:\APPS\XDSL\Default.xbe (this shlould be the ONLY file in this folder )
E:\linuxboot.cfg (this is where the linuxboot goes u prolly wont need to edit it?)

Ok anyways, if I do this will it make it so my xbox automatically boots to it? This is a weird setup because all my apps go in E:/apps

[Chopstick]

well its mainly because its bypassing the cd by creating a daemon so u can run it off the xbox's hd and no it will show up in ur apps menu

lol wow idono if i want my xbox to actually become like a computer... i just play halo on it

[hugey010]

amazing... i have one question. im not too great with linux, but how do you save things permanently to your xbox. such as aim, games, patches for mozilla, and things of that nature? every time i reset my xbox they go away!

[Chopstick]

you have to navigate through and look 4 /cdrom and ur e/f drive is in there (again because its running off ur xbox hd instead of the disk)

can this be installed on another drive than e since it takes up some space my dogs/*****es?

[hugey010]

alright another question... whenever i try to load a game, i will start to load, then once it finishes loading the installation wizard, it gives me an error message. i clik ok and it exits. how do i fix this?

[lx Envy xl]

Can I get on Live with this without getting bannned?

[Chopstick]

well this is linux not a modded dash but im sure u could as long as u do a cold boot with no mod chip running

i dont get this part " E:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIXE:\KNOPPIX\linux24E:\KNOPPIX\min irt24.gzThere should be no subdirectories in E:\KNOPPIX. The filenames are case sensitive.
Now create a file E:\linuxboot.cfg with the following content:
title XDSLkernel KNOPPIX/linux24initrd KNOPPIX/minirt24.gzappend root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init rw video=xbox:640x480 frugal quiet kbd-resetFinally if you are not using the Cromwell BIOS copy default.xbe somewhere where you can run it from your Xbox.

well i did all this and edited the linux boot thing and when i run the linux it says fatxerror minirt blah blah blah something like that is becouse i edited linuxboot wrong,file order? or something else i cant figure out?

hahahahaha i figured it out i unziped the files when i didnt need to so it wasnt reading it huh well how do you resize it so half the desktop isnt over the of the screen?
