I'm really sorry - I am not trying to be unhelpful - but I really do not=20
understand what you mean.

Xebian creates a file on E (which INTERNALLY is formatted as ext3). This is=
=20
called a loopback filesystem.    I'm not sure what 'space' you are referrin=
g=20
to.

Download the 'cromwell package'.

Take the xromwell.xbe from it, and launch it from your dash or whatever.

Select the CD icon, and off it will go.

I have about the same kind of problems with the 1.1.2.
My Xbox is "MechAssault" installetd and after several downloads and=20
burnings, I always end with "Xbox does not recognize this disk".

Should it be possible to get the md5sums of the differents files in the=20
distrib, not only the md5 of the tgz distro?

I noticed that tar xvfz dist..tgz
and
gunzip dist...tgz followed by a tar did not give the same "iso" file at=20
the end.

May be due to the old age of my PC ...
I already installed previous versions of Ed'd Xebian and I am aware of=20
the problem of the cd-rw support.

Any help will be appreciated.

David,

Thanks very much, loading the CD from Cromwell did the trick.  

Thanks,
Brent
