Yes, you can set xbmc as the default dash. You need to make some changes to
xboxmediacenter.xml to set things like the HOME directory. You then put the
xml
file and the xbmc default.xbe in c:\. You have to rename the xbmc
default.xbe
that you put in c:\ as evoxdash.xbe, or whatever an executor 3 boots from
by
default.
