How to install Fedora Core 6 Linux for PS3

[bullit6a]

hey all i've read your post about the linux install on the ps3 but i'm having problems getting the # yum install openssh-server to work i keep on getting errors why is this does anyone know?

[El Diablo]

im extremly confused...on that site...i click for the pse addon cd or w/e and it gives you text? how is that a cd? and from what it seems...you pretty much just put in the linux cd, install it, and then you have to do these other commands and set it up on another computer? ****ing mad confused

save the ISO file to your HDD and burn on a CD. If you perform the installation correctly you will get into the shell were you can install all the programs.

I installed FC6 last night but I discovered an error on the CD. In the dir /target/ there is a file called "initrd.img-2.6.16" but FC6 is looking for a file named "initrd.img" so it returns an error.

I used magiciso to rename the file "initrd.img-2.6.16" to "initrd.img" before I burned the CD. This solves the issue. Right now I got FC6 running with the new kernal. snes9x with sound

i know i asked it here too cause no one said anythign in the others but owell...gues i'll have to stop DLing FC and get ydl

Nice guide. If you follow this, do you still get a 2.6.16 kernel (same as FC5)? Is there any way to install a 2.6.20 kernel? I want 2.6.20 in order to use the new 2.1 version of the Cell SDK.

this kinda sucks...i installed it but when i login its only that root command promp thing and i have no idea how to use the ssh server thing or w/e and get all the other installation things to work right and start up acual linux -.- owell

Sorry, but it's the kernel that supports wifi. I'm running FC6 on a 2.6.22-rc2 kernel and my wifi is running fine. Right now, YDL is just the only distro shipping with a kernel that supports WIFI, but you can build your own kernel in whatever distro you have.

I am trying to install Fedora 7 but there isn't a otheros for fedora 7. When I type install-fc sda it says that I should insert the correct dvd.

I was wondering if there was a "manual" way to boot fedora 7 install so I can install it?

Hey there. I'm really new linux and am having quite a bit of problems with the install of Fedora 6.
Just to get things straight
Graphical Mode on startup:
######################### #
change the device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fbdev"

Option "ShadowFB" "false"
# Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection

change /etc/inittab file to mode 5

edit line:
id:5:initdefault:

For the above portion I am suposed to change
Option "ShadowFB" "false"
to
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
and
id:5:initdefault:
from
id:3:initdefault: which it was originally correct?
I also did all this with vi
Everything seems straight forward enough but when I restart i still get the
login as:
I know for fedora 5 I was supposed to type startx after logging in. Is there something different for fedora 6 that I am over looking?

Thanks in advance
-= Double Post =-
I think the problem maybe that the startx is just simply missing.
If somebody could help me it would be great
The addon cd I used is
CELL-Linux-CL_20070425-ADDON.iso
The Fedora Core 6 Image I used is
FC-6-ppc-DVD.iso (ZOD)
