I run Xbox Damn small linux on my softmodded xboxes. Also run win 98 on the xbox using qemu, although it crashes a lot more often than the real thing :) I am leaning towards towards DSL, but knoppix live is good too. I would love to get something that boots up and shuts down in a flash. I recently downloaded embedded-dsl which is interesting, but runs a little too slowly for practical use. Is DSL still being worked on? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
