[mythtv-users] x-box as a frontend?

[Myth Man]

Hello,

I am looking to use my XBoxs... (XBoxii??  XBoxium???) as Myth front
ends.  They both have the EVOX MOD.

What I am looking at is to keep the HD setup the way it is. I have 100
GIG HDs in them, but they are full.

I was wondering if Myth can boot up and function off a data DVD?


Thanx
