i was asked this in several locations outside here so i figured i'd just write it up and be done so if it helps.....
sid 4.5 softmod exploit makes use of a virtual parition for c and a shortcut xbe file in the actual c:\bios folder (bios.xbe)
xbmc currently has to run from a central location making use of a shortcut xbe file. however with this particular flavor that shortcut is already in place. it will look for default.xbe in one of 3 locations:
e:\dashboards\default.xbe, e:\dash\default.xbe or e:\evoxdash.xbe... if none of these are located it will default to c\rescuedash\main.xbe
so after all this humdrum the fastest and easiest way to get xbmc as a dash when using this particular softmod is simply put your xbmc installation in e:\dash by ftping in after the softmod has completed.
**softmods arent really supported here but it is a legit method of modification if you can get it to work.
