Subject: [Xbox-linux] Re: Beta Cromwell release

I would like to see booting from C:(FATX) in addition to E:. I made the
modification(just a few lines without impacting any existing logic)
though I
am not sure if it is desirable as a standard way. The reason is that
with
this, I can keep the kernel/initrd at C: rather that E:, this makes
cloning
and upgrading a sofmod cleaner(copying 500M at most rather than 8G).

How is the multiple boot option in linuxboot.cfg handled ? Another text
menu
? Didn't have the time to try that yet.

Thanks for the work especially the more than 4 icons and the text menu.

regards,

gary
