Depends on if you have Home or Pro, then what you are updating. If you had Pro and are installing the XFREE it could take days.

Re: New 1st time install problems. *NEWBIE*

Keyb and Mouse only work occasionally on boot, But a reboot normally sorts it. Yes this does happen with home because he hasn't updated the BIOS on it to fix the USB problem. The easiest way to fix that problem is to disconnect the keyboard/mouse/controller at the BIOS boot screen, then plug them b...

With that X2 chip you need to do a 1024k BIOS, 512k of it should be the X2 or Evox BIOS, then the other 512k should be the Gentoox one.

Well emerge works fine, the problem is that everything that you Emerge in needs to be compiled and all of its dependencies. So if you where trying to do KDE it would take several days to download, compile, and install. Remember that the Xbox only has 64m of RAM, that really hurts the speed of the co...
