Yes, true. An easy Installer, which you can set up on Windows or Mac was released on Dec 09 2008. Basicly, the Installer runs from the Wii, you only have to copy some files to a USB-Stck and the SD-Card. Very useful for all the Noobs outthere. Instructions:

f you want to install Gentoo, download it here, rename it to debian-etch-4.0+whiite-0.1.tar, and replace it on the root of the USB-Stick with the already existing debian-etch-4.0+whiite-0.1.tar!!! Continue then like before.QUOTE said:If you want to install XWhiite, download it here, rename it to debian-etch-4.0+whiite-0.1.tar, and replace it on the root of the USB-Stick with the already existing debian-etch-4.0+whiite-0.1.tar!!!
