Hey everyone,

To summarize my main questions are:

1. Will MythTV-Xbox pooch the rest of my xbox functionality, i.e. will
it format the drive i put it on? will it install the cromwell bios
over my present bios? and if no to both of those, will it be
launchable from evox or xbmc, that is does it have an .xbe to start
linux?

2. Does anyone know of a good guide for a gentoo/mythtv install on
xbox? ( My backend is running fedora and i'm unfamiliar with gentoo)

Background: 

I have a modded xbox (modchip) and currently use it for gaming and
media sharing with XBMC.  I'd like a fully functional myth frontend
and I've tried the XBMC myth python scripts but its not quite a full
frontend (though very easy to install and run, kudos to that).

I've researched getting a full mythfrontend on an xbox and I think I'd
like to go with the MythTV-Xbox provided here http://bit.blkbk.com/,
unless someone can point me to a good guide on getting mythtv
installed on gentoox, or installing normal gentoo and myth on the
xbox.  Basically I'd like to avoid the pain of a full out linux and
myth install since i don't have the time right now to deal with it. 
So I've searched all over the archives and google and haven't been
able to find out definitively if MythTV-Xbox from
http://bit.blkbk.com/ will or will not pooch the rest of my xbox
functionality, i.e. will it format the drive i put it on? will it
install the cromwell bios over my present bios? and if no to both of
those, will it be launchable from evox or xbmc, that is does it have
an .xbe to start linux?

My xbox was manufactured around sept 2004 if anyone was wondering. 
Thanks in advance for the help.

MythTV Rocks!
