Title: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: Kingofrandom78 on June 13, 2007, 04:39:54 PM Ok, im gonna show you how to get gentoox on your xbox with minimal effort.
First off, download this (http://yachi.smdepot.net/GentooX.rar) Then Unrar it. If you dont have winrar click here (http://rarlab.com/rar/wrar370.exe) Now, you have the GentooX rar and winrar on your pc, unrar it. Just drag the rar onto the program and you shud see some folders. Highlight the folders and click extract at he top of the program. Now just wait for it to finish(might take a while). Now its time to FTP, if you dont know how to ftp by now read this (http://www.smdepot.net/forum/index.php?topic=7.0) Ok, your logged in and ready to go. Click on your E:/ drive and go into it. Now copy everything from the E folder you just extracted into that drive NOTE: Make sure your not moving the folder but the files inside the folder If linuxboot.cfg already exists : then open the one you extraced and the one in the E drive, just copy paste everything from your new one into it. When you have that done do the same with your F folder and put it into the F:/ drive NOTE: If you are trying to use the stock hard drive gentoox will not fit, make a bigger hard drive. Now you officialy have linux on your xbox! You can just run gentoox.xbe from the root of your E:/ drive or create a shortcut to do it for you For UnleashX add this to the config.xml in its folder under <Menu> Code: <Item Action="E:\gentoox.xbe">Linux</Item> For EvolutionX add this to the evox.ini Code: Item "Gentoox","E:gentooxx.xbe" Then reset your xbox. When you see that Linux is on your dash go here (http://www.smdepot.net/donate.html) and hit donate(give as much as possible) If you dont do the last step then your linux will not run properly, you wont get the hang of it, you will get a wedgie every time you sit down and you will burn in hell after dieing a horrible death.

Might try it once I get another Xbox, or do it to someone else's.

Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: Kingofrandom78 on June 14, 2007, 06:08:43 PM they are different files. the link is fixed ;D
Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: wany on June 15, 2007, 01:04:00 PM wht the diffrent between yr gentoox and he one u download from the gentoox website also
is yr gentoox PRO or home version i heard home version is actualyl easy to use and got the same features like pro Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: Kingofrandom78 on June 15, 2007, 01:06:45 PM Pro is for the professional linuxers, no gui (no windows-all comand line).
My one is the newest home version and its much smaller and more organised. If you download the gentoox from the site then you will have to unrar and uniso a few things. This is rared once for simplicity. Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: Evox117 on June 15, 2007, 08:17:54 PM If you go to the Gentoox site and look at the tutorials section they tell you how to cut down the install from 5 gigs to 2 gigs for the stock hdd..
Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: Kingofrandom78 on June 15, 2007, 08:21:07 PM This tutorial has also been approved by Thomas Pedley himself! (mr.gentoox) i was talkin to him on irc and he reelyis a nice guy/british...
Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: wany on June 16, 2007, 06:08:18 AM so yachi yr version is home then
Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: Kingofrandom78 on June 16, 2007, 05:35:11 PM Its modified home. If you get gentoox from the site you will need a different tutorial.
Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: Evox117 on June 16, 2007, 07:35:47 PM Ive gotten Gentoox to fit on a stock HDD...You just have to delete HELLA lots of saves...and delete all soundtracks you have ripped to the xbox...and then move all apps and what not to F:...You should wind up with about 4.7 gigs....Gentoox only needs 4.5
Title: Re: Gentoox, as easy as pie. Post by: Kingofrandom78 on June 16, 2007, 07:37:28 PM yeh but thats complicated...
