A few questions.
1) Is Linux copyrighted
2) Are Gentoo and Gentoox friends
3) Will a tutorial for Gentoo work with Gentoox

Problem sorted. To swap between front ends all you have to do is run the terninal and type "tokde" for kde and "toxfce" for xfce. The knowledge is in this forum, it's scattered, but it's here. I'll try not to post so much from now on.

How do i swap between xfce and kde. So far i've swapped from kde to xfce but i do'nt know how to swop back to kde. If i use xfce i can access the net without the need to set up my network. If i use kde then i cannot access the network cos i think i have to change my network settings. How can i chang...

Hey Nobspangle, the install all went well. There was no mention of any **** ups. Sorry to ask but what do i do now. I only had 1 xbox to usb cable so i modded port 4 with a usb adapter for the modem. I'm all set up and ready to go. Ive got the software, I've got the modem and now i've got the extra ...

so far gentoox has started the download and all is looking good. It's taking a long time though. I've got tingles all over and my belly is full of butterflies. Is this going to work or not. It's killing me

I will try this later. Thank you for the the simple looking instructions. I'm hoping it will be a doddle. I'll post the outcome later.

So i guess i was barking up the wrong tree there.

If you've got the focus video encoder the screen will be all garbaged up. To sort this out you have to finish the install using ssh(I think). I use a program called Putty. I'm lucky as i have an old xbox with the connextant video encoder so I did'nt have the problem you have.

So far i have burned the drivers onto dvd-r but every time i try to open up the disk in fstab i get too many files mounted. If i insert the original speedtouch pc drivers i can use fstab to look inside...

Trogdor your a star. So there are only 3 Linux viruses out there. Not many is it. One last question for this post just to put my mind at ease. Does my win xp firewall and my norton protect my xbox when running linux through a cross over cable. I'm curious, if somebody gets into my box can they contr...

Its all so complicated. I see Linux tutorials everywhere. But there are so many different tutorials for so many different Linux's. I do'nt know where to start. All i want to do is be able to use my printer, digital camera, modem, printer,ect, on my xbox. If i understand correctly, it's possible to r...

I do'nt stand a chance of understanding linux. Big up to the people who can. I can surf the net, this will have to be enough for me.
Good day and goodbye.

Nice one for the info. I have a speed touch modem, you said that would work (good). One problem solved. I'm using xvkbd (2.5) at the mo. Which is the best version of Linux for me to use. Being new to linux i do'nt understand all the commands yet (YET). Is there a simple version of linux that does'nt...
