yes once you have done it you can run linux or whatever else you want.  

Ive no idea if it will let you use backups on Live, I imagine if it does it wont be for long, and I couldnt tell you what the advantage to running Linux is.

The loader is just your backdoor to get onto teh xbox hard-drive. Then you put the free-X files in the font directory where they will be executed from, disabling hte security checks.

Free-X released the exploit ... this is the 2 font files that need to be uploaded to the xbox, this is what lets you load the following with a mod.

Loader is the dashboard that lets you boot DVDR and any utils/games stored on your xbox.

loader is a dashboard.

install the freex fonts to c:fonts and then place all the loader on the c:

Question:
Once you use the loader my impression is that is install EvoX 2.2 yes?
Is this a temp install  as in if i turn off my xbox and turn it back on it reverts back to the retail dash? And you need run the loader again?

Or does the evo-X dashboard STAY on the system? (given no other outside source modifis such as FTP or online etc)

Is it safe to assume that, besides back-upped games on the harddrive, can you also play import games?  Everyone seems so concerned about more than this that they just don't say anything about that.

That's all I wanna mod my X-Box for: import games.  I have no interest in anything else.

it will stay on the system smile.gif

you have a choice between loader or evox ... At the moment loader is the better option, but I think at this time it may only work on older xboxes.  Try loader first if it doesnt work switch to Evox

I imagine import games will work with loader, I know for import movies you can just run DVDx2 from loader or evox.

forget about linux.

use the 007 trick, install the free-x font files (bert and ernie) and install loader to the c: which will let you load whatever you want ... including linux wink.gif

I can just install the Free-xEvoX as opposed to the Loader right?..since Loader may not even work with newer xboxs to begin with
