Just got an Xbox, wanna add linux.

[S a y u n e e]

I just bought an Xbox, and I've only got a little knowledge on modding it and everything. It looks like the X-ecuter is what chip i'm going to buy. It's got that special shape, and you dont have to program it yourself... (unless it's the way to go, and someone can provide me the programming). I think I have a 4304 build, and that there are special ways to burn xbox DVDs. I have a Phillips DVD+RW burner, and have tried burning a dvd movie, and it plays fine. I was just wondering what I need to know besides getting a modchip and downloading the linux system.

How do I copy the games? I heard it was possible to copy them to my XBox HD and play them off the HD. yes? no? Using the Xecutor chip, i know the main soldering points should be easy, but how hard would it be to solder that other wire? Thanks much.
