[Wolves] putting linux on xbox

[stephen welch]

Hi Mark, I have a mate who is a dab hand at this.  He has done quite a few 
(he actually had an understanding boss who let him do it a work a few years 
back).  I bought a modded box off him a few months ago (executer mod chip) 
running xmbc in a dvd style case. Works fine for me although the cd /dvd is 
a bit flakey - I think i need to change it or upgrade the firmware?

He lives in Redditch!!  Let me know if you want his email address and I will 
run it by him.


Xbox scene is the place.
