New YDL for the PlayStation 3 has Wi-Fi

Posted May 1, 2007 at 11:44PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3 Tags: Linux, playstation 3 updates, Sony, Yellow Dog Linux

This just in from our mailing lists. Yellow Dog Linux is up with a new version, which sports a TON of updates, as well as extra goodies for the PlayStation 3 user hoping to get a new OS into their system.

The new updates for the PS3 version of the YDL are numerous, but here are the basics for everyone to think about:

Support for the Sony PS3.
More than 500 updated packages.
Built-in Wi-Fi now supported.
USB printers fixed.
The bootloader is now included on the DVD.

The source has additional information on updating your Wi-Fi connection to support PS3 Wi-Fi, but we also have some additional help for you as well. There's a Yellow Dog Linux 5 walkthrough over here, as well as our coverage of the T-Break forums' in-depth tutorial on getting YDL 5.0 to work for you.

# try these - better formatting? — Guest 2007-05-02 04:27

# It's not there.... — Guest 2007-05-02 04:37

It's only available for YDL.net accounts... ugh..

It should be floating around the 'net soon enough, I can only hope.

# URL ? — Guest 2007-05-02 06:00

anybody got a url to download the full package with the wifi drivers ?

# you're right — comedy 2007-05-02 06:29

i've tried all those mirrors... all of them... i've looked in all the directories.

oh, actually i haven't gone to the rsync ones.

i want wifi... sob

# is this the new file that i need to download? — Guest 2007-05-02 06:39

yellowdog-5.0.1-phoenix-20070326-APPLE.iso

# Nope. — Guest 2007-05-02 10:39

That's the iso for Apple computers, not the PS3 one...should be available in the mirrors on a couple of days...keep checkin'...

# Sorry for my noob question — Guest 2007-05-02 11:46

Just wondering if anyone had a link or a forum thread that shows the features of yellow dox linux for the PS3.

# BS!! — Guest 2007-05-02 12:46

YDL sux0rs!!!

Gentoo is the best, long live Gentoo!!

# I can't find the right download either — Guest 2007-05-02 17:00

None of the mirrors I see have a free download of 5.0.1 for ps3 with wifi. If someone finds it please post it.

# I got it working — Guest 2007-05-03 02:16

I got it on mininoa.org, look for ydl. The installation is simple, download, copy on a usb key, start linux, and click on the file, it does everything by itself :)

# not yet released — Guest 2007-05-03 06:48

the 5.0.1 PS3 image will be released to the public in the future. Onyl ydl account members can get it now.

But you can update your kernel to get wifi.

# BS — Guest 2007-05-03 06:56

# Try? — Guest 2007-05-03 07:57

# Duz it work? — Guest 2007-05-03 09:37

has ne1 tried that file n see if it works, or if its a fake?

# if anyone is still bothering with this article: — comedy 2007-05-03 17:53

yes, you can find the file on their main mirror and it works.

you can jsut double click it once you've carried it over into linux on usb or whatever.

careful to enter the right values in the right places... mine wouldn't work for ages after i got that wrong.

(i have only a sdtv so i had entered a different 'default' in kboot.conf, this meant when i altered some things it went all wrong.)

enjoy.

# ONLINE NOW — Guest 2007-05-06 15:59

The mirrors on terrasoft sites have the new kernal now. You don't have to take risks with the torrent or megaupload files.

# thnks linko — Guest 2007-05-20 05:21

got it...cool thanks....and for everyone else looking....it's not mininoa.org ---- it should be mininova.org ---- just do a search for ydl
