Is "fedora with the xbox-linux patches" the same thing as XFedora? I

looked at using that but decided not to go ahead because it seemed to

say that it was going to trash the whole of E:\ which I didn't want.

Is it possible to make it use only part of E:\?



Would it be possible to make your install available over bittorrent as

an E:\ image (much like the xebian E:\ images)? I think a few of us

would like to give it a go.



Regards,

Phill

I did not use the install script/cd since I am using root over NFS and my DVD drive in the XBOX

works when it feels like. I will look into making the image available

as an E:\ image or it may be better for me to provide some

documentation on how to make your own image so youre not tied into having anything you dont want from my setup. I am limited on time this week (so far), but I will put together something. 







Thanks



Ray
