The instructions are quite simple, especially with the new Yellow Dog Linux 6 installer DVD. 711656@blogcritics.org Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:02:52 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/18/164648.php#comment-711618 Someone tell me why the %@$& no one seems to want to tell those of us who AREN'T computer savants how to do this? I mean seriously the only tutorials that tell you how to do it are full of some pretty saver holes, and are as hard to find as a needle in a Hay Planet. 711618@blogcritics.org Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:13:55 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/18/164648.php#comment-615904 denis...if you follow the yd instructions, you will see that it requires HDMI or component cables to connect to. It does not support standard connections because the resolution is too low. you can try to install it via "installtext" to run in low resolution text mode. 615904@blogcritics.org Sat, 28 Jul 2007 06:01:19 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/18/164648.php#comment-611963 i got an HDMI port, dosent it work with that one?? 611963@blogcritics.org Tue, 17 Jul 2007 17:36:00 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/18/164648.php#comment-610798 you need a TV with a DVI port to connect to.

I have a Rocketfish bluetooth kyb/mse combo wich works fine in the ps3 os. I didn't write down the errors ( I goofed ) and I'm weary of trying again without more info. PS I don't have a HD screen only a cheap crt tv and will have to install the fix. 563412@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Mar 2007 11:05:30 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/18/164648.php#comment-542520 Sadly none of the distros can access RSX. So no accelerated graphics. It looks like Sony has given Terra Soft the most access to the hardware, though. 542520@blogcritics.org Wed, 21 Feb 2007 17:36:11 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/18/164648.php#comment-542517 A wireless mouse/keyboard with a USB connector works fine. One major limitation of the PS3 linux is lack of accelerated graphics. As a result, my attempt to get full screen .avi file playback on my HDTV was disappointing. 542517@blogcritics.org Wed, 21 Feb 2007 17:30:54 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/18/164648.php#comment-540327 Not too fussed about the wifi as my current console sits right next to my cable modem, but how about using the rest of the functionality? Is there some sort of bluetooth keyboard available, and will it be any better than the dreadful web TV version supplied by NTL a few years back? 540327@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Feb 2007 05:39:25 EST
