Install Debian Lenny from the Gentoo LiveCD
Warning: This script will WIPE your Xbox 360 harddisk (/dev/sda) and install Debian Lenny
lennyinstall.sh will create two partitions. 1 GB swap on sda1 and the rest of the disk as a root-filesystem on sda2. Run the script as root from the Gentoo LiveCD v2. You will need a DHCP-server on your network for this script.
How do I run it?
Click “Application > Accessories > Terminal” and type the following commands:
sudo su
wget https://web.archive.org/web/20141025060051/http://home.comcast.net/~ssmurf/lennyinstall.sh
sh ./lennyinstall.sh
Reboot the 360 when you are told. Boot with http://home.comcast.net/~ssmurf/XeLL-Bootloader-sda2-v2.6.24.3.tar.gz and login as root. You will be asked for a new password. The rest of the installation will start automatically. The download is about 600Mb. Select xenosfb when the script asks for Xserver-driver.
Note: Currently unstable, resulted in xorg crashing and there is no network activity. Debian Etch works, same with Ubuntu 7.10. lennyinstall.sh
