You mean like how one hacks an XBox so as to install Linux?

The "Software preparation" involves copying a savegame onto a USB memory
stick/camera/mass storage device; using the "Dashboard" (XBox built-in
menu thing)
one copies the savegame to the hd; Run MechAssault, and load the savegame.
*POOF*  You have just replaced the "XBox Live" internet conneciton icon with a
"Boot Linux" icon!  Sweet hack, eh?
