take it easy. Linux install can't harm the PS3. Next time you power on your PS3. Press and Hold the power button for 5 seconds.

hello mate,

thank you mate i have sorted it out lol i can laugh now, i had to type installtext as my tv is not 760p or hd now installing takes about 1 hour i think, then the fun starts to get vlc to work but thank you mate.

also game-boot-os works to get back to the ps3 xmb so this yellow dog cant hurt the ps3 as its differnet partions is that right?

So I installed the OtherOS and all that stuff and have booted into the graphical install of YDL, it says "Loading gelic_net driver..." and at the bottom says "Running anacondia Yellow Dog Linux system installer - please wait" and NOTHING happens!? I've been waiting over 30 mins..

Whats gone wrong?

Well I have a 42" LG LCD HDTV so I wanna get it running lol

I'm trying downloading the YDL ISO again to see if that makes a diff.

[robertr728]

be sure to get the 1208 iso that is out there not the older one. you guys problems sounds like it could be the media or the iso you downloaded.

i have now the problem of login in i have used the password that i had to enter at the start of setup which was bathroom, so get to the login so i type root and then my password bathroom.

but nothing,this is with ydl so i have install yellow dog 4 times now each time giving me this error.

so i tried a another os Fedora 5 installed no problem but again this ask for my password so type root then bathroom as my password again still wont let me in as any1 had this trouble and beat it

thank you for any help

Downloaded ISO again and burnt to different media at 4x. Going through install now!!

Ok so got YDL installed ok, downloaded the Linux version of ScummVM and installed the RPM thingy but cant find anywhere how to launch/run the program?? Is it supposed to show in the start menu thingy? I cant see it there, and when I click on the install package again it says its already installed.

Ok installed ydl on my UK ps3, have only a strd TV, so using ydl text ect, it all installs, go to first boot, pick uk, then uk keyboard, then that seems to be as far as I get, all I get then is a dos like prompt saying local host login, none of the guides I have mention this, I tried my root password and others but nothing works, I am now on my third install process as we speak about 10 mins to go, any ideas peeps ? I'm bound to be doing something really stupid and simple, but cant see it for looking.

Would be good to know if any of you guys with this sort of problem got round it ? and post how pls

Try typing "root" as the username. It should then ask for your password.

Oh and psp crazy its "boot-game-os" not game-boot-os
