Title: What Distro, And Multiple Hdd's?
Post by: HaGGardSmurf on December 10, 2010, 10:34:00 PM

Can I FTP the entire iso (extracted of course) to somewhere on the HDD? Would the be the same as installing it? I want to be able to save files etc I dont want to just be running a live cd.

Also, I have a ~20 gb IDE HDD from an old PC I dont use anymore, would it be possible to format that HDD, and stick it in the xbox, along side my other HDD?

You can only have two hard drives if you run cromwell BIOS and set up the Xbox just to run linux i.e. a native install. An Xbox that can run games can only have one hard drive, but you can run linux as an application.

The Gentoox web site has detailed instructions on how to install linux in both modes.
