I wonder if there is a way to slim-down XFedora4 so it can run as
smoothly as Xebian?  Did you try shutting down lots of services and
stuff?  What about switching to a lighter weight window manager?

The reason why I ask is because it would be so much easier to get
package updates via atrpms for my XBox-MythTV, instead of dealing with
the Xebian package repositories, which are not updated as frequently.

Yes, you are correct; normally an HDD reformat should not be required.
 In my case, for some reason the loopback drive wouldn't mount
properly, and after some discussion on the XFedora4 forums, the
XFedora4 guy (whose name I forgot) suggested I reformat my E partition
back to FATX to solve that specific issue.
