[IPCop-devel] IPCop Installation on XBOX

[Craig R. <cn...@gm...>]

I am about to undertake a new project that consists of installing
IPCop on a XBOX.  Linux installations on XBOX are "easy" and have been
accomplished using a cross-installation with the PC.  The idea would
be to use the XBOX, along with a USB NIC as an IPCOP machine.  This
would allow the cost of an IPCop machine to be less than $200.00 for
new parts.  The XBOX comes stock with one NIC on the motherboard, and
4 USB ports with a different type connector than the usual (the cable
to convert is $6.00 or you can solder one in).

There are a few reasons I am mailing the DEV community for IPCop.  Has
this been tried before?  The only problem I see with install IPCop is
the inital installation where IPCop scans your computer for NIC's.=20
Also I'm not sure if the kernel supports USB NIC's.  There is also an
issue of having the XBOX kernel patched.  All of these issues seem
like they could be easily overcome with some input by the IPCop
Development Team.

Any ideas/suggestions on this project will be appericated.
