Title: TC for Xbox?
Post by: krisvek on June 01, 2009, 11:53:00 AM

How hard would it be to use TinyCore on an Xbox?  The (original) Xbox is a low-memory system and could benefit from such a small OS.  I'm currently using X-DSL.

  Unless there are some unforeseen complications, I think it would mostly require patching the kernel with the Xbox-Linux patches.  Might take some tinkering to get the patches to apply though (new kernel version, etc.).  When I get home today I'll try and do something as basic as booting from the live disc and see where that gets me.

Specs-wise the Xbox should be fine, but you would benefit from a swap partition with only 64mb ram.

Regarding platform specifics like DRM restrictions or platform drivers, I have no idea.
