And then there was fbBuild...

I wouldn't just yet, Bestpig hasn't updated to using fbBuild v0.11 yet. If you're gonna go for it, use the manual fbBuild instructions I posted earlier with the new fbBuild v0.11 archive

Yeah, use BestPig's toolbox, he's quick with the updates

Quick one TV, I've BP's toolbox here 0.4 v2.6, there's an option for "my console does not have a dvd drive" - what are the implications of this? As you know I have a 3.5" Sata HDD where my dvd drive used to be and rely on ftp/usb instead, but I've never built an image with that option before.

From what I understand, the new freeBOOT (because of the 12611 kernel) will always boot Xellous if you have no DVD drive because it thinks that TRAY_OPEN is logic high :P So there's a freeboot_alt.bin which will stop the centre light in the ROL from flashing and will let you boot in the dashboard without having to install a jumper on the DVD drive power header. So check that box if you want to boot into the dashboard. I have experienced this "won't boot dashboard unless a DVD drive is connected" issue myself when I upgraded my console and thought it curious

I do not know how you get to Xellous after flashing freeBOOT_alt.bin though, but that's a problem for down the road

Ah so it's just to avoid having to jump pins 4 & 6 on the power header? Even though I have those pins jumped, Xellous still boots on pressing eject, so I don't really see the point (for my case), so I just built a standard updflash to keep things the way they were (EnterNow doesn't like change ).

Yup, I think it's for the lads who don't want to jumper or got annoyed by the ROL centre light. That said, it might have some other effect on the Dashboard - I mean they got hard on the OSIG checking so god only knows what Microsoft will do if they find out you're running without a DVD drive :P

Stick with the standard build until you experience issues, that'd be my suggestion

As soon as the avatar updates are downloaded, I'll try a few things out & let you know
