Yellow Dog Linux  - Image 1This 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.

It's not there....

It's only available for YDL.net accounts... ugh.. It should be floating around the 'net soon enough, I can only hope.

by - 2007-05-02 10:00:36
URL ?

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

by comedy - 2007-05-02 10:29:23
you're right

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

by - 2007-05-02 10:39:21
is this the new file that i need to download?

yellowdog-5.0.1-phoenix-20070326-APPLE.iso

by - 2007-05-02 14:39:19
Nope.

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

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

by - 2007-05-02 16:46:28
BS!!

YDL sux0rs!!! Gentoo is the best, long live Gentoo!!

by - 2007-05-02 21:00:09
I can't find the right download either

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.

by - 2007-05-03 06:16:01
I got it working

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 :)

by - 2007-05-03 10:48:22
not yet released

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.

Duz it work?

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

by comedy - 2007-05-03 21:53:11
if anyone is still bothering with this article:

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

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