    i gave you a perfect answer, a converter to use your keyboard. now you have to go an be an a$$ when im trying to help, that power button resets your wifi settings, internets settings, and all those little things you did the the consoles name and all that. stop trash talking or you may find yourself suspended.

    never mind him, streetz. he has told someone to get a DVD burner somewhere above. i'm not surprised if he tells someone to get a keyboard now, or a mouse, or probably a PS3 later.. :)

    anyway, i'll end this "discussion" here. i just don't like him being unfair calling someone being an ignorant or even an a*ss while he's the one who is being one.

    sorry if this causes everyone discomfort. peace!

    @re2st or w/e
    the guy up there didnt have a dvd burner, so i suggested getting one and told him what would be needed w/o. plus streetz has a keyboard hes using right now, i was letting him know how to use it on the ps3 if its ps/2. pardon the fact i dont have the answer you exactly want, but they work and you should respect those who have had way more time here than you. a simple "thats not what im looking for" would have sufficed. this didnt even invlove you.

    ddp, i apologize if i sound like i have "name-called" as you put above. but if you read the entire thread, not even once i did name-call anyone. i simply wanted to help streetz with his frustration, and not confusing him with answers that he doesn't need.

    i was just responding to what i thought as incorrect (and i believe i did it quite nicely). i'm sorry if someone misunderstood my good intention and pursued it as an attack to him/her.

    i understand that i'm just a "newbie" and you're the moderator. i'm sure you have all the wisdom hence you're a moderator. i fully respect this forum and i have learned a lot from here. if anyone would ever "lose", then it would be me.. :)

    Has anyone tried the OS load with the latest version (fedora core 6 ZOD)? I was thinking about following toxicfish's guide, but don't I want to use the latest version out not core 5?

    Maybe that version wasn't released yet?

    That is where I am stuck. After I did a full format I can no longer install. I am waiting for my new component cables so that I can use my vga box I just purchased.

    In my spare time I have begun working on a linux workstation using an old 133mhz processor and 64mb or ram. I'm just learning the ins and outs of linux right now. I will come back and show my findings, it is just taking a while.

    I'm assuming that you are using a regular SDTV right... Yellowdog will not work because when it boots it requires a TV capable of 720(p/i?). This was mentioned earlier in this thread. If you are using an HDTV, what is your setup like..?

    update: over at thep1ratebay there is a .torrent called Patches to run Linux on th PS3 + IBM Cell BE Engine SDK 2.0. It might be what some ppl are looking for. Let the mods decide if the link to the file is OK or not.

    i just found the GooTube video a few mins ago that shows the very things said in this thread. Somebody compiling & running Fedora. Argh...i posted a thread on it. i will be teh banz now :(

    I'm dying to hear what ppl are doing with Fedora. It would be so phat to have a full web browser + keyboard running on PS3. If that's the case i'd get rid of my 1 older PC & use that $300-$400 toward a PS3. As nutty as that sounds, having a full computer + gaming system ain't too bad. Consider the possibilities. Web browsing. GIMP. Emulated photoshop. VMware. Virtual servers. Hosting your own web site. Running your business. All from one computer (PS3) & with a fast cpu in the box. Drop any ?s you have to that guy on GooTube. He seems to know his stuff.
    Oh one more thing about Linux. Linux won't get you overloaded with viruses, spyware & other crap like Windows does. So you essentially get a full working OS + gaming system with a PS3.

    Phew, finally done with the reading.

    Hello all, =) thank you for all the wonderful posts, including the argument posts up there. Luckily no one is hurt or banned. =)

    So, Fedore 5 PPC? I just went to www.redhat.com and saw they have Fedore 6 PPC. Has anyone tried that one yet?

    With all the installation, no one has a stable PS3 with Linux installed. I hope there's a solution soon for everything.

    Thank you all. =)
