Will that work with GentooX?
What are other solutions to hooking a keyboard and mouse up to an xbox?
Will a 9.1GB HD be able to hold Gentoox?

Yes, that will work with Gentoox, no it wont do what youre hoping it to.

The ONLY way to get a keyboard to work in Gentoox is to use a USB adaptor.

New issue. I use a font exploit, this gets the clock all messed up. I read one of your tutorial it says to
Gentoox uploaded to the root of the E: drive, go grab the Xbox Linux Live Plugin System (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xbox ... 2?download)
However that url wouldn't function properly for me :( Is there an alternate address or am i just doing something wrong? :?:

I've downloaded the package, but i'm scared to install. My xbox has gone through many odd things. First i sucesfully installed a modchip. Then the switch broke. Then the modchip broke. Then an exploit was installed. I could still swap xbox hard drives w/o a modchip. If i install GentooX will it load new bios not allowing me to run unsigned code, and legal backups?

Font exploit and clock sync issues by dawhiz
Im not "dawhiz", fyi.

You dont have to use the Gentoox BIOS, but it is highly recommended. Im not discussing it any further than that because most unsigned code is illegal.

Oh didn't know people could post tutorials. Anyhow will what impact will the Gentoox BIOS have? will it make linux run faster? Anyhow i still have a web questions:
1) Will the default hard drive hold Gentoox?
2) Will a mouse through USB work?
