Bah, I got the saved games on my USB stick, eventually, and the

it fails.
From reading up, it is my dashboard that is too new, and I have no
idea where to find an older one and from reading, it would be illegal.
This is starting to look like a little too much trouble now :(
Plus, using this softmod technique, do you have to select linux from
the dashboard to get it to boot up everytime you power on? That would
kinda suck!

Hmmm...Using the TSOP flash method, you can solder two pointds on the

BIOS.
Thats my understanding from the docs at xbox-linux.org :|
This weekend is going to be fun :P
I've hacked a couple of xboxes (one 1.6 one earlier model) without
having to use any soldering.
Key to this is already having a hacked xbox, so that you can create a
correctly formatted memory card (find the savegames at xbins). Or you
could download one (I have it here somewhere...), and use 'dd', to get
it onto a USB memory stick, and use a converter cable to connect that
to the Xbox.
You can easily make those cables yourself (xbox-linux, or one of the
forums will probably have an explanation) or do as I did, and buy one
for 7.95 EUR...
You can google 'ltools xbox' to get more info.

As I posted earlier in this thread, the SW-Mod instructions on the
xbox-linux site refer to a method which does require an earlier MS
dashboard version. This was the problem that I had. After finding a
v1.0 xbox on ebay, I bought it and found out it had the latest dashboard
due to being connected to the internet (MS will auto upgrade the dashboard).
Luckily if you follow the instructions at:

You will use the ltools SW-mod zip which I believe can handle all
dashboards.
Yes you do have to select linux (or what ever you want to call it) from
the new dashboad. I modified my evolution ini file so that after boot I
just need to hit the select button once and my linux boots and starts
mythtv. You can follow this guide
(http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/evox-ini.php).
