Debian Linux Live CD for the PS3 |
Ó
The number of Linux distros for the PS3 keeps increasing steadily. After already having heavyweights such as Fedora Core and Gentoo gracing their presence on the PS3, we now have Debian being released for it.And make no mistake, while many of you might have never heard of Debian, it holds as much, if not more respect than the distros already out. And in case you didn't know, Debian could be called the father of Ubuntu since Ubuntu was originally started as a fork of Debian. The major advantage of Debian is its stability which is already proven by it being one of the top operating systems in a server environment.
Anyways, what's great is that this OS is released with a livecd environment, which means that everyone who is scared of Linux can give it a try, without being afraid of it modifying your system. As a live CD, all you need to do is install the kboot bootloader and select OtherOS as your default OS. After that, just burn the Debian CD as an image on a CD-R and insert it in your PS3 when it boots up. Once Debian starts, you can enter a number of parameters to customise your boot environment.
- live - Boot Debian Live
- yuv480i - Boot Debian Live in 480i video mode
- yuv480p - Boot Debian Live in 480p video mode
- yuv720p - Boot Debian Live in 720p video mode

- yuv1080p - Boot Debian Live in 1080p video mode
- yuv576i - Boot Debian Live in 576i video mode
- yuv576p - Boot Debian Live in 576p video mode
- WXGA - Boot Debian Live in WXGA video mode
- SXGA - Boot Debian Live in SXGA video mode
- WUXGA - Boot Debian Live in WXUGA video mode
- install - Boot Debian-Installer in normal mode
- expert - Boot Debian-Installer in expert mode
- rescue - Boot Debian-Installer in rescue mode
Username - casper
Password - live
Remember that these details are for the live cd only. If you decide to install Debian on your PS3, you will get a chance to set the user details yourself. The otheros.bld which you must use for the kboot installer should be downloaded from the link below. So make sure to extract that file using a utility like WinRAR and using it with otheros.self.

ya, debian rocks!
"Sweet!"!!!
I've been waiting for a Debian release. Now I just need to work on more HDD storage... (60G is gonna be cramped with videos, PS downloads for the PSP, PS3 downloads, and a full OS...)
I don't suppose anyone wants to put together a DebianLiveDVD (for more applications running as live)?
Hmmm... drat... Now I'm sounding like a fauning noob... Better get back to dogfighting in Blazing Angels... Drat... another fanboy moment... SIXAXIS flight control is so much fun!!! ... Sorry... Now back to your regularly scheduled blog...

i got it working but how the ***** do i got back to PS3 XMB to play games
