[Cialug] More on the XBox

[Tim Champion]

As I mentioned before, I have an xbox running linux.  I have all the right
stuff to do it as long as it isn't the newer firmware.  I guess if it won't
read DVDs, I don't think it'll work since the games are DVDs.

Its a no-mod, no open hack.  You load a hacked saved game (game is 007:Agent
Under Fire - which I have) that fires up a app called Evolution X that give
you FTP access to your xbox.  I'll see if I can at least drop some stuff off
on the software freedom event, but I can't be there.
