PS3 Linux - The void has been filled...Full install instructions for Fedora Core 5
Click on OK to start the installation. This will install the kboot image to the PS3.
●
Once done, it will go back to the menu.
●
Navigate to Settings -> System Settings -> Default System and select "Other OS".
●
Now that you've selected Other OS from the default system menu, when you restart your PS3, you will
be greeted with the Other OS installer message. In case you're stuck with the Other OS installer and
you want to go back to the Game OS, just press the Power button for 5 seconds or more when starting
your PS3. Be advised that doing this will restore the PS3 to it's default factory resolution.
Alright, now insert the Fedora Core 5 DVD into the PS3.
●
Restart your PS3.
●
When the PS3 starts, you will be greeted with the kboot message for the Fedora Core 5 installer.
●
You can only install via a DVD, CDs aren't supported!
●
When the installation starts, one Hard Disk will be recognized - sda Linux.
●
At the kboot prompt, type in "install-fc sda"
●
Once it starts, you will see a message:
Please insert Fedore Core install DVD.
Is it OK? (y/n):
Just press y to begin install.
This will prepare your PS3 for Linux. Once done, you will be able to select one of the 2 install methods:
Fedora Core minimum install
●
Fedore Core full install
●
Select whichever install you want. We'd recommend a full install to reap all the benefits of Linux on
your PS3. At this point, the real installation will start. It will ask a couple of questions, but they will be
basic stuff. Remember that when you install Fedora Core 5 on your PS3, the second partition you made
will be formatted and you will lose all your data on that partition.
The installer will start unpacking and installing the data to your hard disk. After a small while, you'll
see this message:
Please insert a Add-on Packages CD.
Is it OK? (y/n)
Remove the Fedora Core 5 DVD and insert the Add-on Disc which you burned a while ago and press y.
A little while later, you will see the following message:
Install done.
Type reboot to start Linux or type halt to power off
Rejoice! You've just successfully installed Fedora Core 5 to your PS3. Now you could shut off your
