What you will need:
* A copy of Ed's Xbox Linux v0.0.9 CD (available here)
* A modded xbox (that should be a given
)
* A WORKING network connection so your xbox can access the internet
* boXplorer
* WinRAR (available here
* Xiso or another Xbox ISO extractor/re-compactor
* Primo DVD or other burning program
* USB Keyboard and Mouse
Step 1
After you have download Xbox Linux (xbox-linux-install-cd-0.0.9.iso.bz2), extract the ISO file (xbox-linux-install-cd-0.0.9.iso) using Winrar.
Now, open XISO (or your choice of ISO burner software) and BURN IT to CD.
Step 2
Turn on your Xbox boot from the CD you made in step 1. Xbox Linux should start and you will see Tux on your screen. A BLUE welcome to Xbox Linux logo at the top of your screen and messages flash by on your screen; wait until you see a login screen. Login using your keyboard and the following username & password:
Username = root
Password = xbox
You will be now in what appears to be an MS-Dos Prompt, good, because essentially that's what it is. Now, type in XBOXLinuxInstall (!!!CASE SENSITIVE!!!)
The Xbox Linux install program will start.
Select OPTION 1: to install in the game partition, this option won’t overwrite your F drive, instead it creates 2 files on E: rootfs and swap. Select option 1, only pick option 2 if you don’t care if you lose your data, you have been warned.
Next select swap size, 256 in good.
Next select Partition size, 2000-3000 is good, too big and it may interfere with game or music save space.
Now wait, this takes awhile, you will see error messages, this is normal and happens to everyone just let it run and when you are back at the prompt, eject your boot disc and reboot your XBOX. It should boot to your normal dashboard (Evox I presume).
Step 3
Now using Winrar extract the file BOOT_FAT.ISO from the xbox-linux-install-cd-0.0.9.iso file. Using Winrar extract the 4 files from BOOT_FAT.ISO to a directory on your PC called Linux.
Next copy the files you just extracted to your Xbox. I FTP’ed them to E:\applications\linux on my Xbox.
Add Linux to your Evox.ini if you’re not using autoloader then reboot your Xbox. Select Linux from your menu and it should boot up from your HD.
Step 4
Now comes the tricky part, you must have that working connection to the net now if you want to install packages (such as a GUI). Go to your computer, if you have a PC goto Start---Run and type in winipcfg. It will open a program telling you what your IP, Gateway, and Subnet Mask are. Write these down, and go back to your xbox. Type in cd /etc/network (again, case sensitive, welcome to the world of Linux) Now, we must modify the settings for it to work. Type in nano interfaces You are now in a basic editor that can change your xbox-Linux's internet settings. Enter in the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. Now, press F3 on your keyboard, it will ask you if you want to save, select yes and yes to overwrite. Press F2 to quit. Now, type ifdown interfaces and then type ifup interfaces This restarts your network connection. Now, lets see if the settings are working. Type in
ping -c 4 google.ca
This will ping google.ca, you should get 4 responses. If you did, congratulations! You now have a working internet connection to download packages with, if now, go back to the beginning of this step and try again.
Step 5
Now that we have a working connection, lets get a GUI (Graphic User Interface). Type apt-get update. This goes through a list of Debian servers and gathers information on where to download packages off the internet. When thats done, type in apt-get install x-window-system. It will ask you a Yes/No question, type in y and press enter (wow, this really is DOS, back to the good old days) Now, this will take a while depending on your net connection. When it is done it will ask u questions, just ignore them and hit enter all the way through. After that, you should be back to the prompt. Type:
cd /usr/lib/xbox
cp XF86Config-4 /etc/X11 ( as always CASE SENSITIVE)
it will ask u if u want to overwrite, say yes. Now type in
startx
This is the Debian Linux GUI, not much to look at huh? Well, why don't we upgrade our GUI to the wonderful KDE? Hold down your left mouse button, click Apps---Shells---BASH. This looks familiar again doesn't it? Now, lets get KDE. Type in apt-get install kdebase. Answer yes to everything. This will take a while too, it took me about an hour with a DSL connection, just let it have it's time, it will get there. Wow, now when you boot up you should be in KDE.
Congrats, you are now the proud owner of a Linux Operating System.

) that somehow you'd say something like MacOSX...
