Hey guys.

I know that even now its somewhat hard to install linux, but how about starting on Live USB? Any ways to do this?

shouldn't be too hard.

damn small linux is 2.4 kernel based and can run off usb. so ps2 linux also should.

i've been using 2.6 for too long, so i don't really remember how to find out where your usb is mapped on 2.4 kernel with devfs.

You're right, shouldn't be hard at all. If a PC can do it, a PS2 should be able to do it no prob. It's too bad about the whole 2.4/2.6 thing, if they hadn't changed the entire kernel between the two, you would probably have it all coded and ported by now. Shucks.
