    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 :D

    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 :D

    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 :o:p).

    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
