Preperation
The X-DSL 0.6 RC2 build comes packed as an ISO which can simply be burnt onto a CD/DVD, inserted into your xbox console, and booted directly from the CD/DVD disc.
if you have a local network and which to add your xbox to it to use the internet within Linux, it is recommended that you insert the Ethernet cable before booting the X-DSL boot disc.
Controllers/USB mouse/ USB keyboard do not have to be inserted before booting as linux will detect them as soon as you plug them in. Once plugging a Controller in, do NOT move any joystick for at least 5 seconds, or they will not be calibrated correctly. If this happens, simply reconnect the controller and it will re-calibrate upon connection
