After some hearty searching, I wasn't finding a concrete answer on if you can actually run a dual boot system (Dash/Linux). I have seen some claims and some loose information but bull$#!t is always hard to string apart. Any information you all could share? Any projects going to possibly get this going? Differences booting from open-tray/Ring-Button? Any information at all appreciated  PS: I see there are 3 LiveCDs but was really looking for an installable solution... |

you can launch linux from xell. to start xell, press eject instead of power to launch.

I do NOT give support by email, PM, ICQ or whatever. Anyone annoying me that way will have his balls removed. With a rusty butterknife. Slowly. And I'll enjoy doing it.

Ah, so just for clarification, I would burn a LIVECD, boot using eject button, and toss that bad boy in eh? Do I need to flash XeLL to my nand, or does XBR contain XELL (in the first 50 blocks I read)?

XBR contains xell, that's what the eject launch is for.

My apologies, I just did some searching around and found that info. I appreciate the info.
XBReboot Block Layout:

0x30 - 0x3F Backup Xell
0x40 - 0x4F freeboot.bin or freeboot-manual.bin (patch engine core)
0x50 - 0x61 Alternate CG
0x62 - 0x64 Spare blocks
0x65 - 0x65 Patch.bin, patches for bootloaders and kernel
0x66 - 0x8F Alternate CB/CD/CE
0x90 - 0x?? Flash file system

I guess I have one last question, once XBR is installed...
1) can I remove all my SPI wires?
1) can I remove all my JTAG wires?

Thats the general idea I was getting, but my SPI/LPT connections, I can yank off the board, correct?

if you are sure you'll never need them again (i.e. bad flash/corruption), yes.
