would be good to download whole distro instead of update.

For now, I prefer to publish an online update for each new feature that I have finished.

A new release candidate will be available when all the new features have been implemented .

thanks for your advice, roadrunner, i would like to try the usb installation, the only reason i using CD is i am reluctant to go extra mile to make bootable USB. but i shall try it soon, as i want to verify if it is the cd that causing the problem. thanks again. salute.

all u do is extract red ribbon iso and copy the files in it over to the usb stick .

that would make the USB stick bootable, all along i thought it would require extra effort to make it bootable, sorry for my noobness

thx for the work, the update worked fine, but then after leaving the old kernel on hdd(space enough) and booting into new kernel all works great, then tryed to use "make" for the bootldrexploit as it should work out of the box with provided wiki(corrected) files

first it spits out an error there's no "build" folder or a build foilder shortcut? excuse my poor linux knowledge

after c/p those from old kernel into new kernel folders it can execute "make"
complains about a parameter not used(the script i guess) but builds the files in ps3peekpoke2 folder

but then again getting errors on "insmod ps3peekpoke.ko (the file is corrected) and according to the wiki, red ribbon latest builds this can be dumped easely, must be me or something cuse im only getting errors on "default" install

trying to execute "insmod ps3peekpoke.ko on previous build gives this error:

Hi!

Can you ensure that the header package was installed? If It wasn't installed, you must execute:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros

Also, you should verify that the "build" symlink was created properly:

ls -l /lib/modules/3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros/

It should look like:

build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros

If the symlink doesn't exists or is diferent, you can create it:

sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros /lib/modules/3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros/build

Greetings

You do know GameOS runs on (Free)BSD? So if you look black/white at it you are already running a kind of Linux (Unix) on your PS3
