[mythtv-users] [OT] Xbox Frontend/Xebian 1.1/Alsa

[David Whyte]

Bah, I got the saved games on my USB stick, eventually, and the
emergency linux loads OK, but if I try and load the install linux game
it fails.

idea where to find an older one and from reading, it would be illegal.
 This is starting to look like a little too much trouble now :(

Plus, using this softmod technique, do you have to select linux from
the dashboard to get it to boot up everytime you power on?  That would
kinda suck!
