Can't even get installer working tried FTP'ing and CD

Hi, totally new here. Anyway, I download the Gentoo X Home Edition, burn the stardust.iso in the way described, didn't work, so tried the other way. Burnt twice again with slowest speed. FTP'ed to Xbox, no luck. Now, my question is, how can I even BEGIN to install this thing? With a normal CD, it doesn't boot it, but I can see the files on my PC. With FTP, I can access the .xbe, but it either brings up the EvoX sign if I access it from the menu, or it brings up a black screen if I explore to it and open it. Thanks in advance.

Oh: and I have NO idea how to use that md5sum thing.

EDIT: Nevermind, for some reason it doesn't work from CD's or FTP but it does work if I burn it to my CD-RW

. OK, time to free up some space on F:!

Hi

CD-R don't work with the Xbox. This has nothing to do with gentoox.
If you're lucky CD-RW works, otherwise use DVD-R.

md5sum is a checksum to verify your download.
You need a tool to verify this, for example

CD-R don't work with the Xbox.

That statement is false. I burned the stardust.iso image to a CD-R, put it in my xbox, and it booted up fine, to install and all that. I just have the overscan problem because I have a V1.6 xbox, but that wouldn't change no matter what type of CD I burned the image to.

Hi JUNGLISTICAL

We are both wrong.
"CD-R's mostly don't work" would have been correct.
It's depending on your XBOX DVD Drive and the CD-R brand.
But chances are bad to find a working combination.
