Matt I have the stuff downloaded but for the life of me I can't figure out how to install to the XBox HDD so I can run it from there. Reading the wiki from linik below talks about frugal, loopback, and native but I only see reference to running from live cd. Is there a way to copy files to E:\Apps etc. and run from the HDD?

I originally installed with the AUTO INSTALLER DELUXE DVD.
So Im unsure how to get it installed.
Im sure you just need a couple of linux files in the root dir and the app under applications folder and should work.
If you need me to I can upload the files for you for your download.

Web Browser, 100% Functional - elliottlock - 2008-03-10
I've looked about and I can't seem to find a 100% functional easy to use Web Browser on XBMC.
I'm a bit confused about this because I would have thought this would be a big highly requested feature.
Is there a reason one hasn't been made from Mozilla or some other open source browser?
This truely is for me the only thing missing from XBMC to make it some kind of ultimate amazing Media Center LOL.
Cheers,
EL

on Xbox it's not as easy as it sounds. Do you know the Xbox hardware specs ?
Pentium3 ~700MHz CPU
64MB Unified RAM (shared between system and GFX, this is why 1080i is so hard to use)

what happened to linksbox-xbmc? want it soo badly lol
- SleepyP - 2008-03-10
way to go with the "Let me search before I post" behavior there, elliot. "LOL" indeed.

Yeah but this post is massive! lol and all about linksbox which last time i looked was a bit pants.
internet browser - chris123321 - 2008-03-13
Is there any internet browsers out there for xbmc?

I see that you have not read the forum rules, because if you DID you would see that you're supposed to search the forum before you create a new thread. In this case, a search would reveal that this is a very old and never implemented feature request. The Xbox has 64 MB of RAM in it TOTAL. Just for an example, right now I am running FireFox to view this forum, and its reporting to Windows that it alone is using about 61 MB of RAM. Keep in mind that for FireFox to even be running, you have to also have some sort of operating system running, and that also takes up lots of memory.
In short, its very difficult, which is why past developer efforts (like the Linksbox project you would find if you searched the forums) have basically all been abandoned. You pretty much need to be running something more powerful than the old Xbox for this. Since XBMC is being ported to Linux, OS X, and Windows, the number of people who would want and be able to use this feature who are running the old Xbox hardware will be declining, so its extremely unlikely that this will ever happen.
