remember to Burn the ISO to a DVD. On the USB Flash Drive, or other Storage Media, create a Folder named “ps3″(without the ” “. Inside of that folder, create another folder named “otheros”(without the ” “. Extract the otheros.self to that folder. The otheros.self is in the Other OS Installer I just gave to you in the URL. Next, QJ.Net should have the Other OS.bld, put that in the “otheros” folder too. Now, put the USB device, or whatever you put the files on, in the Playstation 3. Next, go to System Settings, then to Install Other OS. Back up all the Data you don’t want lost, and partition the Hard Drive. Allot as much memory you want to the Other OS. Now, go to Install Other OS, and it will search for the files on the Storage Device. If it’s in the correct folders, the Playstation 3 will recognize it and start the installer. Complete it, then restart the System with the Other OS. Plug in your USB Keyboard now!!! Next, put in the DVD with the ISO Image!!!! ALL OF THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!! The screen should look black, with white letters on it. Wait until it gets to the words, “kboot”. You only have a couple of seconds to use the tab key to cycle to the words, “installtext”. Press enter when you see “installtext”. It will then go to the YDL installer. Choose a password. REMEMBER IT!!! YOU CAN’T LOG ON WITHOUT IT!!!! Next, remember that the Username is always “root”. Go through the Installer, which should take, about 45 minutes to install. When it’s done, restart the Playstation 3, now, when it gets to the words, “kboot”, follow these directions. If you have an HDTV, select, “ydl1080i”. If you have a Standard Definition TV, select “ydl480i” If you have an HDTV, then it should be easy, when it asks you, just enter your password, and when it asks for your Username, say, “root”. If you have a Standard Definition TV, then it gets really hard.

Standard Definition Directions:

From selecting, “ydl480i”.

Start by waiting through more text until it gets to something that says,

Localhostlogin:

Next, type, “root” so it looks like this:

Localhostlogin:root

Press enter, and it should ask for your password, so type it in and press enter.

Next, you need to type these words in EXACTLY AS THEY’RE WRITTEN!!!! REMEMBER, WHERE IT SAYS “.COM”, IT MEANS, “.COM” THERE IS NO SPACE THERE. This is case sensitive, and space secsitive!!! When you’ve typed it in, press enter.

wget http://www.terrasoftsolutions.co m/support/solutions/ydl_5.0/Xautoconfig-0.23-2.ydl.2.ppc.rpm

There IS a space after the words, “wget”

Now, wait for about 10 minutes. Next type again, the EXACT words you see here:

rpm -ivh Xautoconfig-0.23-2.ydl.2.ppc.rpm

Again, there is a space after the words, “rpm”. Press enter

Wait for a while, then type these words EXACTLY:

editdiff /etc/inittab

There is a space after “editdiff”. Press enter.

Now pay close attention, once you press enter after you type that command. A lot of text will show up. Look carefully and hard for this line, using your ARROW KEYS!!!

id:3:initdefault:

When you’ve found it, press i on the keyboard. Don’t capitalize it. This will let you edit that line. So now, use the ARROW KEYS, going left and right, and edit it to make it:

id:5:initdefault:

As you can see, the only thing you need to change, is the 3, to a 5.

Once you’re done editing it. Press ESC on the Keyboard then type EXACTLY

:exit

It doesn’t matter where you are on the screen, as soon as you type, then press enter, it will bring you back to where you were before you started the editing program.

Now, type EXACTLY these words:

editdiff /etc/kboot.conf

There is a space after “editdiff”. Press enter.

Now, find the line with your ARROW KEYS, that says:

default=ydl

Press i on the Keyboard, and change it to:

default=ydl480i

Press ESC, then type:

:exit

After you have typed that, and pressed enter, type:

reboot

The system reboots, and wait until it gets to the “kboot” line again. Once it gets there, you don’t have to do anything!! So just wait, through the lines of text afterward, and then it will come to a colored screen, that asks for your Password, and Usernam. Type your Password, then type “root” for your Username. You will then have Yellow Dog Linux on your Playstation 3!! WARNING!! YOU NEED A USB MOUSE TO NAVIGATE!!! AND AN ETHERNET CABLE NEEDS TO BE PLUGGED IN BEFORE YOU BOOT UP THE PLAYSTATION 3 FOR INTERNET!!!! To go back to the Game OS, go to the command prompt and type:

boot-game-os

I really hoped this helped!! Now enjoy a full working Computer on a larger screen than your monitor!!!

Just thinking waya to help those out there while we enjoy our expensive systems.

Here’s the URL for installation. This is the first version, I believe a new version was just released. That version has Wi-Fi Support, and USB printer support. This first version doesn’t. So, if you want to pay the 70+ bucks for that version, be my guest, but here’s the free version. Go to Terra Soft Solutions to get more information.
