You will be asked if you want to quit your PS3 XMB and start the other OS, so choose Yes
and wait for the PS3 to restart. In a few seconds you will see "Ubuntu PS3 KBoot Loader"
text on the top of your screen. Insert the Ubuntu PS3 CD you just burnt in your PS3, hit
enter (on your keyboard, which should be connected to your PS3 right now) and wait
for the live disc/mode to start.
❍ Note: The Kboot will sometime not detect the disc, so if it will not work upon hitting
enter, type boot-game-os, (returns you to PS3 XMB), insert the Ubuntu CD while in the
