I don't know why but when I used boxExplorer and took the files off the cd and to the hdd it worked. If I copied the files from ftp to hdd it didn't.

Simply just go to Electronic Boutique and get two xbox extension cables. Then the local computer store and get usb Keyboad and mouse. Then just cut the ends and attach following the same color. Now connect to xbox the new keyboard and mouse to begin installing linux.

Yes you need to solder the wires, but that you don't need skills for.

So does this mean that you are able to boot up with evox screen, from there you can select to boot linux from the hhd from evox?

As of know I have a replacement hhd that of 30gig.
revox 2.4 flash on my openbioxx..
Thinking to install linux only if I can have dual boot, meaning booting to the evox screen first, then from there I can either select my games on the hhd or the linux. Is this possible?

Ignore my previous post.
I tried it 2nite, and couldn't get it to work.
I think the USB connector in the middle is making it stop working (or maybe the cable was too long - see other posts).
Anyway, I removed the male/female connectors, shortened the cable, it now works fine.
Don't try my suggestion in the previous post.
