Is "fedora with the xbox-linux patches" the same thing as XFedora? I<br>
looked at using that but decided not to go ahead because it seemed to<br>
say that it was going to trash the whole of E:\ which I didn't want.<br>
Is it possible to make it use only part of E:\?<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to make your install available over bittorrent as<br>
an E:\ image (much like the xebian E:\ images)? I think a few of us<br>
would like to give it a go.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Phill<br>

</tt>I did not use the install script/<span class="correction" id="">cd</span> since I am using root over NFS and my <span class="correction" id="">DVD</span> drive in the <span class="correction" id="">XBOX</span><br>
works when it feels like. I will look into making the image available<br>
as an E:\ image or it may be better for me to provide some<br>
documentation on how to make your own image so <span class="correction" id="">youre</span> not tied into having anything you <span class="correction" id="">dont</span> want from my setup. I am limited on time this week (so far), but I will put together something. <br>
