You should be able to bootstrap yourself from any working linux dist as long as there is a working ethernet. Its slightly off the beaten track but I think they even have docs for it on the gentoo website. I presume you want to keep using the same linux kernel due to some constraints in setup of the Xbox? This should also be possible, although a bit more of a hack. > 2) Does MythTV/MythDVD/MythVideo work on Gentoo on XBox or am I just > going to end up in the same place, with an X that's not compatible with > Myth?
