Make sure it is something that you will remember! So when you login to Linux, your username will be "root", and your password will be whatever you want!
Dependency Check The Installer will now check for package dependencies. This will take a few minutes. Click "Next" to continue.
Package Selection The Yellow Dog Installer defaults to a pre-defined package set which includes full featured set of graphical applications for a wide variety of functions. Once up and running, additional packages may be installed using "yum" or the Package Management utility.
Once that is all done, Click Reboot to restart your PS3. This will take a half minute. When presented with the bootloader menu the same as was presented priot to installation , at "kboot" for those without HDTV's type in "ydltext" without quotations , and hit ENTER. Two YDL icons will appear in the upper left corner of your screen.
There are 8 in all, 6 of which are available to Linux on the PS3. During the first-ever boot following installation, you will be welcomed by "firstboot" in order than you may conduct additional system tests and configuration.
A command bar will come up, and all you do is type in "startx" without quotations! You will then go right into Yellow Dog Linux! Type this in next: rpm -ivh Xautoconfig That's it for the Tutorial!
Have fun with your Yellow Dog Linux!!! I really hope that this will help people out! If you have any questions or problems, reply to this forum! I don't own a PS3 anymore I've got bills to pay, and was either this or the , so please don't message me for help, because I haven't done any of this in a long time, so I wouldn't be able to help!

So i,am guessin that this link is not illegal! Last edited: Apr 29, Last edited: Sep 8, I cant do anything until i get a USB or bluetooth keyboard. Sudds , Apr 29, Okay, turn on the PS3, and wait until it says "kboot:" make sure that you are connected to the internet before turning on the system! Then type in "ydltext" without quotations!
It will then load to a screen that will show 2 blue circles that's the yellow dog logo , and 6 penguins under that! Let the screen load to the Login screen, and type in "root" without quotations , and the password that you made, when you were installing linux! I think it is case sensitive!
Now, it should say that it's installing it, and it shouldn't take long! Then if it works, follow the rest of the tutorial to get it working! Hope this helps! So I put spaces in between the URL so that it will show the whole thing! Just make sure there are no spaces, when you type the link that I changed above!
DavGerm4 , Apr 29, Or just use this link. Sudds, the thing is though, you have to type in the link on the PS3, you can't just click on something! So you may need to remove that, so that people don't get confused! DavGerm4 thank you very much i have linux now on my ps3. At the minute theres really no point mate, i was going to do that myself, but as there is no ISO loader as of yet The games are around 20gigs or so, so you will need i big HD to back them up to.
What sort of keyboard are you using? At the moment i cant use Linux because i dont have a USB keyboard. Do the bluetooth keyboards work with linux? Sudds , May 1, The Disc's hold about 20GB, but that's not how big the games themselves are! Blu-ray holds about 25GB and the games really aren't that big!
DavGerm4 , May 1, Do you work for Terrasoft Solutions? If not then you could have just posted the link to this guide on their site. It is the same thing almost word for word. Alex , May 1, Alex look at every other guide there all nearly the same. Sony has been saying that it sees its new next-gen machine, the PlayStation 3, as more of a computer than a console.
The operating system will be rolling out in three stages. The first starts today, November 27, and users can obtain the software from YDL. Once the software is released for download on the public mirrors, it will be free of charge. The gamer will also need a USB keyboard and mouse to run the operating system. The installation manual is available on Terra Soft's Web site.
According to the manual, when Sony Computer Entertainment designed the PS3, 'it was fully intended that you, a PS3 owner, could play games, watch movies, view photos, listen to music, and run a full-featured Linux operating system that transforms your PS3 into a home computer.
