Run Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on PS3
otheros.bld inside of the OTHEROS folder.
3. Step 2 applies to memory stick(s) also.
4. Now go on to the PS3 XMB and go to Settings -> System Settings -> Install Other OS. Press X
(default) to detect & install the Ubuntu Boot Loader.
5. Now continue Step 3 from part 1 to install Ubuntu on your PS3!
Installing Linux from the Live CD
1. Once you have the disc booted up and onto the desktop, find it quite slow? Well I'm going to tell
you how to install it.
2. Click the install icon on the Ubuntu desktop.
3. You'll be asked to choose what type of keyboard your using, your language, where your located
etc...
4. You will also have to make a Ubuntu account (Login account).
5. Now, once you get to the screen that asks about what drive to pick to install Ubuntu, select
manual and select the 10.7 GB drive.
6. If an error comes up or a window pops up saying something about Apple and some other text,
click Okay. You will notice that installation will go no further.
7. Repeat step 5 to move on after clicking OK on the error/window that comes up.
8. Go through the next simple steps and then the installation will begin.
9. Installation should take 20 minutes or so.
10. After restarting your PS3 after the installation, you will be brought back to the Kboot menu.
Remove the Ubuntu disc that you burnt earlier in the guide.
11. Hit enter on your USB keyboard, and you should see text run down the screen. Then a few more
things should load.
12. Once things are booted up, you will be brought to the Ubuntu log-in screen. Put in your
username and password and you will then be logged in to the much faster Ubuntu. Remember to
write down your username and password! I would recommend choosing your own name as your
username and whatever password you can remember well.
Conclusion:
After using Yellow Dog Linux, I find Ubuntu much better then it because it can detect pretty well
everything on your PS3 system settings, from firmware version to being able to detect all of the USB
and Bluetooth connectivity of the PS3.
