Newbie here! Hence the forum.
I followed the instuctions to install GentooX via FTP - the contents of distro.rar have been uploaded in the root of the e: drive, and I've successfully added it to the EvoX menu. The problem is, in the menu, GentooX is greyed out and won't select.
I think this MIGHT have something to do with the rootfs $gb+ file. I uploaded it, and while DVD2XBOX can see it, and sufficient HDD space is taken up, my FTP client is not showing it in the e: drive. Can anyone help, please?
Also, while I'm here, is there any way to increase the partitions on the HDD? I'd ideally like to decrease the f: drive by 2Gb and increase the e: drive by that same 2Gb.

as for resizing the partitions you should try xbepartition
1) Evox sucks XBMC should be everyones main dash board... or maybe avalaunch.... or unleashX... but those three should be enough... definately not Evox!
2) can you launch gentooxx.xbe (don't forget the second x) from a file manager? All three above dashboards have one built in.

Check the syntax and path for the .xbe you are trying to load (in this case its gentooxx.xbe) Additional missing files (swap rootfs etc) have no bearing on evox, if these files are missing than when gentooxx.xbe is run it will not load gentoox, but gentoox is still executedStickyIckyBud wrote:I agree with orochi - if its greyed out it has to be an invalid path...
But its strange that it won't launch from a file manager...
Is gentooxx.xbe in the root of e? (e:\)
What other gentoox related files are in the same directory - maybe you're missing something?
