A Way To Dual Boot Installed Xfedora And Xbmc
« on: January 31, 2007, 12:32:00 PM »
I'm not sure how Xfedora works, but xebian and xdsl (among others) has a "small" install option which places it on the E drive in a folder instead of using the entire F partition (you can then create a "scratch file" partition on the F drive in which linux will only use the space provided in this scratch file)  - this way it is bootable from a dash such as evox or XBMC - you could then set up seperate two seperate bios banks  - one that boots XBMC and one that boots the linux distro (using the .xbe shortcut file if needed - place it in the C: drive - you can get it from Xbins).

Good luck
