This DVD will install XDSL and all the files needed to run Windows 98se on your Xbox.

You need about 1.5 GB of space left on your E:| partition for this install.

This installer is a pimped out hddprep v1.4 and hats off to the original people involved.

It will install all the files for you and "Linux XDSL / 98Lite" will appear in your apps directory in your Dash(es).

This DVD will not over write existing files on the E: or any other partition (except files associated with this install)

This DVD will not format any partitions or over write any ini xml type files on other partitions.

If you already have XDSL installed on E: just delete it as these are the latest files, but the DVD should over write them ok, also delete any 98lite or associated files that you may have on your xbox hard drive.

Burn this (x)iso to a DVD that your xbox rom tray likes using Nero or your favorite pc burning tool at 4X max. and finalize the DVD (either DVD+R or DVD-R will read on all 3 types of xbox roms)

Boot the flashed TSOP or modchipped xbox with the DVD in the rom tray.

Choose yes to install and it takes about 5~10 minutes.

Turn off xbox through menu, then restart xbox with the eject button and remove install DVD from tray.


To run Windows 98se after the install,


Run XDSL, labelled "Linux XDSL / 98Lite", from the apps directory in your Dash

Choose the fatx e: option and XDSL will boot.

(XDSL itself is a fully working Linux, internet ready, app packed xbox o/s)

Once XDSL is running, double click on the XTerminal icon on the upper right desktop.

Using the keyboard type sh /cdrom/98.sh and hit the return button (a space between sh and /cdrom/98.sh!)

Windows 98 will boot (just hit ok or cancel when asked for a windows password)

Flashfxp is installed to connect to your pc file server for file transfers to win 98 itself or to other ftp file servers on-line

IE and mozilla web browsers and a on-screen keyboard is installed, if you don't have a USB keyboard plugged into a controller port (also support for a mouse)

Runs about the speed of a P1

To shutdown windows 98,

shut down win98 through the Start button like a normal pc

then to shut down XDSL right click or red button on controller on the desktop then choose "shut down"

XDSL will properly shut down the xbox.

Do your shutdowns like this, just don't hit the power button because files may corrupt for XDSL or Win98 and if they do just re-install with the DVD again to start fresh

Basically "XDSL" is being used as the "emulator" which "runs" the "win98 o/s" files.
