'I Used my 500GB external hard drive' and then used 'Acronis*True*Image*Home 11.0' and 'removed the fat32 partition then made it ext3 for linux'.. Then I just ran bootOS then Lvl2 v9 patch, with linux, then over a 'FTP server' I downloaded the OS files (DOWNLOAD-INSTALLS--Download time 2 hours--install time 1 hour), I believe. With the Ethernet cord attached to the ps3, everything went smooth.

When browsing the web, it freezes and I have to force the web browser to stop but oh well.

What I think made it work is that fact that I changed the 'external hard drive partition' before I did anything.

I can watch movies and play music I'm about to test a mame emulator, in the process of copying my roms to the linux hdd right now.

But I have got to say, this is probably just as good, as yellow dog linux. I heard yellow dog was slow on things as well.

When I'm not on the WEB and I'm just running software, If I allow it to load which takes a few mins, it goes pretty fast (Once its loaded that is.)

Program boot time isn't that good nor is multi tasking, multi tasking will lock your system up or it'll just freeze and you'll have to force stop a few things.

You formatted the hard drive to ext3 now all you have to is hook up the internet to the ps3 run BootOS then LV2 v9 Patcher pick linux and it just connects you to the ftp server in which you download your files from.

Its pretty simple.

Note: DO NOT RUN ICEW browser its the reason why I kept freezing up use the one up top with the world on it. Its the icon above in the task bar right beside the System (Tab).

Everything seems fine now, I can't install the following though.

1) apt-get install sdlmame- doesn't work
2) apt-get install xmame- doesn't work
3) You can't install wine, which kinda blows dockeys.
4) The "emulator" we do have for this linux os does support ONE emulator but its trash it could NOT read any of my roms, its called "KamFu" I think. My advice don't waste your time trying it because it doesn't work at all.

I've tried sudo apt-get install sdlmame- and no - and it still doesn't allow me to install it or even get it to install it.

They should of made this with ubuntu 10.10 not Debian being Debian kinda sucks, its not really suitable for any software that I want to use.

Btw, I'm on linux ps3 right now typing this!

Can some one please tell me how to partition my USB disk? I formatted it as FAT32 and placed the Debian image in the root, but when i load lv2, and choose Linux, it starts something, then tells me DHCP lease failed. Sending discover... Sending Discover... Sending Discover... DHCP lease failed, and so on....

You need to setup dhcp on yr ps3 to do that make new wired connection and when it comes to dhcp just stick the name of yr router into the box ........and yr ext hdd needs to be ext3 format and you dont have anything on yr drive as it is a net install in other words it downloads it ....... if you dont know how to format to ext3 read the above posts.

Can BootOS2.01 load kernel from ext4 on /dev/usb00?

or does it still have to load linux kernel from mounted img on /dev/usb00 as FAT32?

Also I expected Tiger PPC to run eventually, what is netkas up to? Afraid of being chased by the lion and the lamb?
