Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved

An anonymous reader writes "It looks like pSyCo from XEmulation.com Has found a way to boot Xbox Linux Live on an unmodified Xbox with nothing but an Xbox and Linux PC (no memory card of any kind, etc). Also a guide to using this method to flash your Xbox's onboard TSOP with the bios of choice, making the Xbox modded without an actual mod-chip. $5 to rent 007 to mod my xbox sounds nice =) Check it out at: XEmulation.net Forum or XboxHacker.net BBS. *Wonder what the DMCA would think about this...*" This builds on the "007"-based method discussed earlier.

    Congratulations, you've succeeded on running Linux on a lesser box. Superb. Apart from the "wow thy fellow geeks" factor, this doesn't seem to have any practical applications - and don't tell me about those who can now get an Xbox and run Linux on it, because God knows that the vast majority of people who run Linux don't need more computers :)

    Although I might be underestimating the "wow thy fellow geeks" factor here... ;D

      Gah. I keep forgetting that bringing up Linux in any way that could be (mis)construed as negative on Slashdot all but warrants a "Troll" moderation. Blimey.

    So, like, if you want to install and play with Linux, buy a computer. If you want to play console games on your TV, buy an Xbox. How hard is that to understand?
    What's next, trying to install Linux into the front door, then the family dog, and so forth?
    Makes one wonder why we just get sick of Linux after awhile.....

    "The only think that will make me run linux on my xbox is if I can install a working system withou touching a screw driver."

    The thought of this insightful first post and running Linux on my X-box ALWAYS makes me touch my "screw driver"!

    Why, for fuck's sake, do people care about being accredited for their tutorials? If I were ever to write a tutorial for mass use, I don't think I'd ever ask for such a thing. Contributing to the knowledge pool is a reward unto itself.

    You cockmongering chode loader.

    Ignoring Time Cube is Evil.

    Earth rotates within a Time Cube.
    Demand educators debate Time Cube.
    You are not allowed to know truth - that
    in one rotation of Earth, there are:

    * 24 hours in midnight to midnight.
    * 24 hours in sunup to sunup...........
    * 24 hours in midday to midday.....
    * 24 hours in sundown to sundown.
    * 4 days in only 1 Earth rotation...
    * 4 simultaneous years of the seasons.
    * No infinite days within 96 hours.
    * 4 different directions in clockwise.
    * 3 days lost to academic stupidity.

    There are 4 simultaneous days
    (dumb fools claim infinite days)
    created within a single rotation
    of Earth. Teaching that Earth has
    only 1 day in 1 rotation, is adult
    poison forced on their children,
    as in the Jonestown mass murder.
    Cubeless academia = armageddon
    and a barren Earth for children.

    Ignoring Time Cube is Evil.

    It is best to be uneducated and
    Wise, than educated with Lies.

    You are an educated stupid ass.
    Word is counterfeit & fictitious
    representations of true values,
    as in form, substance and deed.
    Adult word god is a counterfeit
    and fictitious evil upon children.
