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.
