Help with linux install

Post by OiLtAnK »

Hi all, need a bit of help please.
I tried to install Linux YDL 6.0 but I am stuck on the install page with the 2 peguins. Can i cancel the install???
The reason I am stuck is the wired keyboard does not seem to work.
I used the keyboard off my pc with a ps/2 to usb adaptor, should this work?
Please help I can not use my ps3

This is "PS3 Linux Development", not "PS3 Linux Support". You will find more help with your installation if you ask the YDL folks.

I had the same problem. Do this (it sounds crazy I know). Install the otheros that's on the ydl disk through a usb stick. Then boot into otheros without the ydl disk in the drive. When the kboot screen comes up put the ydl dvd in and wait, it will work. If you're stuck on that kboot screen, just do a boot-game-os command (at least I think that's what it is) just google it.

Sorry if I posted in the wrong section, I am new.
YDL is 4 gb and I do not have a 4 gb usb stick.
Please help!

You only need to copy the otheros install files to the usb, not the whole dvd. Please check the ydl forums if you have problems.
You mean people actually do that?
