Yellowdog 6.0 ps3 install

Seems very well organized. I've spotted few things of interest already Might have to give YDL another go as well. Hope the Ubuntu, OpenSuse are granted access as well. Plus preinstall on the Ps3. It's not too late. C'mon Sony Hell yeah!!! Cool GrandTheftStreetcar hope you'll find what you may need! We aren't as small as it may seem Awesome news. Looks like I'll finally be getting some use out of YDL now.

Yellow Dog be doggin mIcro like they aint nothin. You try and perpetrate the Yellow Dog and get barked upon son Two barks and a ruff ruff motherF.. Or go spread more FUD like we all know you do! Is it worth installing? Where can I download it?

And,can anybody point me with a link to where I could download cool apps for Linux on ps3? Its defintly worth installing and it taked up about 10GB of your internal Hard Drive. You can change the Hard Drive with any laptop size's hard drive.

So you have a lot of space on your ps3. You'd be better off using an external hard drive formatted as FAT32 to share files between both operating systems. Yes, but you cannot partition the HD freely.

You can use 10GB max for either Linux or PS3 Games, etc and the rest for the other operating system dependent what you put on those 10G. Edit: Above. Oh, you were faster :. Won't happen! Different CPU. No way to emulate a i86 reasonable fast with a PPC. By than all the kinks will be worked out.

No need to wait. It works perfectly as they have been improving it for the past 2 years already and there are really no "kinks". I just may try it out sooner than I was planning. Edit: You got to have a account and the site is not english, so I don't think the linux from this site will be in english.

Does anybody know where else to download it? Please Help. Wow I so want to switch my OS and have been considering Linux for a while, I hate Vistas with as passion, I'll be sitting there doing nothing on my comp and it just crashes out of the blue, or it just decides to update it self and restart it while i'm in the middle of something ,Shlt pisses me off so much.

Please,give us all a long in depth explanation as to why windows is better please? I'm wondering if you HAVE to partition your hard drive to do this, because: 1. I don't have a USB Drive available to me right now 2.

Yes, you have to. So have I got this right? If you want you can install Linux to an external USB drive? Do you have to have a 10GB partion on it or just have enough space? I like the idea of an external because my GB in my PS3 is just about full and has no separate partion. Wouldn't I have to make a back up on a USB, reformat, make a 10gb partition as well as a gb one and restore everything I could from the backup?

Thanks in advance, and the promise of bubbles for your help guys. PS PS3 is so fkn cool. The external drive will only help with storing files while within linux. But on a positive note. Trim 10 gigs off your HDD and you'll have the opportunity to play with loads of emulators and linux games in full-screen. I'm a bit surprised that there isn't a larger number of people who've discovered this by now, though. If so, how?

There are psx emulators available for linux, but the ones I know of work only on an i based PC PS3 uses powerpc. Post a Comment. Here are some quick observations on trying to play Video files on Yellowdog Note: I'm a Linux newbie and I've since installed Fedora 6. I'm probably going to reinstall Yellowdog this weekend so look out for updates The importance of YUM I thought I'd start off by briefly mentioning that unlike a Microsoft OS, where you typically download and run a piece of software, on a Linux OS you may be required to download the "Source Code" for the software, build it on your particular flavour of Linux and then run it assuming you can actually find out where it got installed Bear in mind that you you may also need other software installed on your Linux OS before you can successfully build the software you actually want.

Sometimes this can be as significant as needing an engine in your car before you can actually drive it anywhere. Fortunately, there is yet more software available for Linux OS's that help you download and manage these updates. YUM is an example of such software. So we need to make a sym-link. Like Like. Hold the power button for 5 seconds while booting up the machine, and it will bypass the linux boot,.

Sounds like you got unlucky man. Took maybe 15 minutes of actual work, and a little time away whilst the machine got on with the install. The only painful part of the process was downloading the 3. Everything works out of the box, even the option to boot-game-os, which works as a normal user and is avaialble from the end of the applications menu from the E17 desktop environment!

I tried this tonight but no luck. I am not new to linux which is not relevant really since I never got that far. I formatted the disk drive went to install other OS and then set the default system setting. It booted into the linux install screen and I watched as the screen filled with scrolling text about usb drivers.

But when it made it to the interactive part I seen three of everything No Im not drinking LOL three screens, three cursors….. So I thought well I will try to get through this and change the video settings once installed. So I went by the colors on the buttons and clicked the green ones.

It worked until I got to the root password. I plugged that back into my other PC and it worked fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Try plugging a VGA or composite monitor for that part. I was able to use my Dell FP monitor because it has a composite input. Sounds like the auto installer could not cope with your type of graphics set up. Did you try using the joystick pop-up keyboard? But I did have problems with the Java Runtime and the graphics.

Painfully slow, and I dropped the project for the time. I am thinking going with another machine as a graphics client and letting the PS3 be a server. What a relief to have an outside outlook in a frustrating situation. Although I have done it a hundred times before lol. Thanks for the insight on everything!

The way I understand it this is not supposed to be supported for PS3, obviously it it still worked with a little extra work , as will many other distros i think. This might be why you ran into so much trouble, so you might be getting many unsuspecting users into unneeded trouble. I really liked the Active ISO burner though, thanks for that advice. Please tell me that it can be taken off and reset please?

I am not the literate when it comes to this sort of stuff, but I did follow the directions to a T, but still would not recognize the installer, I hope burning it to DVD using the Active ISO burner will solve this problem, because trying to surf the net on the PS3 browser really sucks. I installed it the same evening following the offical adobe ps3 installation manual.

It is fairly simple and i have not found any problems yet. I used an american link and got a constant kb sec, it took about 2 hrs.
