• • 2007-01-04: search and find out which file on the xbox holds the kernel and back it up
    • checked. The kernel is located in rom, so I don't have to worry about backing it up. I can run nkpatcher as a utility. http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Xbox_Boot_Process
  • 2007-01-15: create a shadow C drive, see if the nkpatcher works any better.
  • --: find a chat room where I ask for xbox help and do so.

I installed the softmod using the above guides, then installed evox as it came with my softmod. I've also installed

• xmbc
• disk ripping utilities that account for scratched disks
• snes and nes emulators

Evox is used on the E drive.

I think my HD is formatted incorrectly, because I only hace 137 gigs on my F drive.
