Post by: wany on June 11, 2007, 01:57:53 PM
I have some few question about running gentoox along side unleashX?
1- can gentoox run along side unleashx
2- if so how can i get gentoox to run along side unleashx where would i have to put gentoox on my harddrive so it would eb able to run
3- how would i run gentoox when i am unleashx dashboard
4- will gentoox turn of unleashx or shut it down whn it boots up or will both unleash x be running in the background while gentoox is up?

I have soem question about runnign windows 98 also
i have read that it is possibe to run windows98SE on the xbox but u have to load it up through linux if i am correct?
1- after windows98 is installed on the xbox would it run on the linux OS or would it run by it self
2-is runnign windows98 on the xbox fast or slow compared to linux os
3- can i have unleashx gentoox and windows98se be all on the same xbox?? and change between them through the unleashX dash??

IF thes think ca be done cna u point e in the direction where inca find information on how to do this or better yet if u can supply me or point me to tuts about doing this

1-you use unleashx to launch gentoox
2-ill upload my gentoox (minus personal files ;)) so you can just ftp it
3-ill show you my  config.xml, i have a shortcut striaght to gentoox at the top
4-unleashx boots gentoox and closes, then gentoox runs till shutdown. ifyou restart then unleash will appear


1-it will run under wine. so you have linux running with a window that has 98 in it
2-much slower, i found gentoox to be faster than 98 on a crap pc
3-you can boot unleashx with a shortcut to gentoox and then run a cmd to get 98 runnin but you cant start 98 from unleash

i will write a tut in the next few days as i am  busy right now.

ill make it as detailed as possible.
the config.xml is in E:/dashboards but you shudnt mess with it.
linux is preety easy to get the hang of, just google anything you need to kno and eventually you might give up on windows(if you have the determination to learn linux ;))

Yeh but if you switched to gentoox you cudnt switch back, so you can just add a shortcut to unleash that looks like games or watever but call it Linux or Gentoox
