Installing Yellow Dog Linux on a PS3 (with video)
Hello to everyone! As Diego mentioned in an earlier post, I (Andy) will start posting on Talk Binary and after a small crash course on how to post, here is my very first post for everyone to enjoy. This is a quick and easy video tutorial on how to setup Yellow Dog Linux on your Play Station 3. This tutorial assumes you have experience installing a Linux operating system. I do not go over the install process but simply teach you how to get there. Enjoy, and feel free to post comments or ask questions in our forums.
Check List
1. Yellow Dog Linux Image: Terra Soft Download Section
2. A blank DVD to Burn the image.
3. Some Sort of External Media to Back-up Game Saves, Music, Pics, and Vids.
4. A High Definition TV
Once you see this on your screen:
The next step is to Run through the install process and your done!

Out of curiosity, why the requirement for the HDTV?

I really don’t know. I’ll ask him today.

Reason is, Terra Soft ( Developers of Yellow Dog Linux ) Decided that the resolution of a standard definition TV was too Low. If you do everything in the Tutorial up to where you get to the actual Installation you’ll notice that after the short terminal commands finish the screen will go black. This is because the resolution is set above standard def which in other words is High Def. That’s basically why. Thanks for the question!

Ok. So lets me ask you a few questions.
Have you ever installed Linux before?
What Linux Distro did you install?
Have you ever had problems using the internet on your PS3 before?
Is your internet connection working?
Did you recently install a router?
Are you using the Wireless or Ethernet adapter?
If you have a wireless router is it encrypted?
Answer these questions for me and then lets move on from there.
