So if you need help, contact the fellows over at Yellow Dog Linux! Please don't PM me with help, cause I no longer use it! So, I'm pretty sure that you have all seen the tutorial made by ToxicFish, on how to install Fedora 5 on your PS3, but for those of you that want something different, you can go with Yellow Dog Linux!
That is what I have installed on my PS3 right now, and it is working great! So I'm going to make this tutorial on how I installed it all on my PS3, and if you have any questions, to just come to here!!! You can get it off of a torrent site, so please seed it! The file should be around 3. I used Nero, and that's what works for me! Any software that will burn images to a disc will work fine! Once you click that, Nero Vision will open, and it will ask you to select the file!
Select the Yellow Dog Linux File however you saved it. The screen will then go into the "Final Burn Settings"! You can select the speed of burn, and what drive to use! I burned mine at 8x, and you should keep it below that just so that the PS3 can read it okay!
Wait for Nero to finish burning, and that's it! You are just about ready to install Linux! This OtherOS will be Yellow Dog Linux, but you need something called a bootloader installer, and the bootloader itself!
Open the PS3 folder you just created, and make a folder in there called "otheros" again, without the quotations 3. Go to this website and there will be two files to download! Just download both of them, and save them to the Jump Drive, in the "otheros" file you created!
If you have any data on your PS3 that you want saved, back it up before doing this! In fact, those of you that don't have an HDTV can still do all of this, I'll explain how to have picture at the end! Okay, so what this is going to do, is re-format the HDD on the PS3, so that we can make a partition on it! Now you will need to select the partition settings for the hard disk to "Custom" 3.
Your PS3 will now format its Internal Drive! Just let it do its work!!! Power off your PS3. Installing Yellow Dog Linux 1. Power on your PS3. The bootloader "kboot" is displayed on-screen at this point if you are connected to an HDTV just wait 10 seconds, and it will automatically install! For you others, bear with me!!! Enter Anaconda the Yellow Dog Linux installer and move forward with the installation of Linux, as guided on-screen!
Partition Drive Partitioning a drive creates "logical" as compared to physical sections on your drive, each serving the purpose of organizing and protecting data. Go ahead and select "Yes" to proceed. Just select "Automatic Partitioning" just because, it will partition it all for you! If you know about partitioning and you want to do it manually, then select "Disk Druid" I'm not going into detail on that!
When you select "Automatic Partitioning" you can chose from one of the three schemes: Remove all Linux partitions: This will delete and then replace only existing Linux partitions. The GameOS and game data will not be harmed! Remove all partitions: This will produce the same result as "Remove all Linux partitions" as the GameOS cannot be affected by the Linux installer!
Keep all partitions and use existing free space: If you have never installed Linux on your PS3, this will generate the same result as "Remove all partitions"! Create a root Password When you login to Linux, you will have this password to access it!
It has to be at least 8 characters long, and has to have both letters and numbers! Make sure it is something that you will remember! So when you login to Linux, your username will be "root", and your password will be whatever you want! Dependency Check The Installer will now check for package dependencies.
This will take a few minutes. Click "Next" to continue. Package Selection The Yellow Dog Installer defaults to a pre-defined package set which includes full featured set of graphical applications for a wide variety of functions.
Once up and running, additional packages may be installed using "yum" or the Package Management utility. Once that is all done, Click Reboot to restart your PS3. This will take a half minute. When presented with the bootloader menu the same as was presented priot to installation , at "kboot" for those without HDTV's type in "ydltext" without quotations , and hit ENTER.
Two YDL icons will appear in the upper left corner of your screen. There are 8 in all, 6 of which are available to Linux on the PS3. During the first-ever boot following installation, you will be welcomed by "firstboot" in order than you may conduct additional system tests and configuration.
A command bar will come up, and all you do is type in "startx" without quotations! You will then go right into Yellow Dog Linux! Type this in next: rpm -ivh Xautoconfig Keep me logged in on this device Forgot your username or password? Don't have an account? Sign up for free! What do you need help on? Cancel X. Topic Archived.

How old is this guide? ThePlasmaStorm 9 years ago 3. Out , brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow! I'll be the one to give an actual answer to TC. Supersoldier 9 years ago 6. You can't Slims never had that ability and they took it away from all the other consoles a long time ago. You aren't missing much anyway, it ran horribly on PS3 since it didn't have full ram access nor gpu access.
AwayFromHere 9 years ago 7. Putting Linux on a slim PS3 is not possible. It's only possible on an original model that has firmware prior to 3.
