So Cromwell is for if you want to be strictly legel and only boot Linux then, right?  Is it true you can now access Xbox live through eVox?  Does Cromwell offer any advantages over eVox for Linux?

If you're to use the XBOX as a Linux-ONLY machine Cromwell is the #1 choice since it lets you use and entire hdd (of any size). But in your case, no

I think I'll configure my mod with a 512mb Xecutioner, and a 512mb Cromwell dash.  That way I can boot Linux from Cromwell and utilize my entire #1 hard drive and partitions it as I like.  And I can boot eVox dash from Xecutioner for everything pertaining to Xbox other than live and use my #2 hard drive.  Finally I'll disable my mod chip for Xbox Live and use the MS dash.  By the way, somebody said no matter what your hard drive couldn't exceed 137gb, are you sure you can install a larger one using Cromwell?  Also, does this setup appear to be functional?
