Hi, well, I do have an old XBox. I already changed the bios: This is |
| 42 |
done by a combination of cromwell and raincoat flasher. |
| 43 |
You can run any file system supported by linux. This should not be a |
| 44 |
problem any longer. |
| 45 |
Thanks for the google hint. |

Right now I am having trouble booting my new installed system. This is |
| 48 |
because I don't really understand the syntax from linuxboot.cfg Well |
| 49 |
I'll search the web for this. |
