First follow this tutorial to setup and boot the Other OS: "Other OS" - How to Install on a PS3

Now follow this tutorial: YDL 5.02 - Installtext Guide (HDTV and SDTV)
Let it run the installation.

After installation is complete, remove the disc and reboot your PS3. You will get the kboot prompt again. Type ydltext or ydl480i

Code:

kboot: ydl480i

Wait for it until it gives you a login prompt like this one:

Code:

localhostlogin:

Here, enter root and press enter.
When it asks you for the password, enter the password which you set during installation.
[code]localhostlogin: root
password:[/code]>
You will be left at the bash prompt.
Now to get a GUI environment, you will need to do a couple more steps. Download Xautoconfig using the command below.

Code:

wget http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_5.0/Xautoconfig-0.23-2.ydl.2.ppc.rpm

Once you have the file, install it using:

Code:

rpm -ivh Xautoconfig-0.23-2.ydl.2.ppc.rpm

Now run Xautoconfig by typing it at the command prompt.

Code:

Xautoconfig

We're almost done. Now type the following command:

Code:

editdiff /etc/inittab

This will edit the /etc/inittab file. Scroll down using the arrow keys and find the line:

Code:

id:3:initdefault:

Push i to get into edit mode. Then change the line to:

Code:

id:5:initdefault:

Now press the ESC key and type:

Code:

:exit

Now edit the file /etc/kboot.conf

Code:

editdiff /etc/kboot.conf

Find the line that reads:

Code:

default=ydl

Change it to:

Code:

default=ydl480i

Once done, just press ESC and type :exit
Now uncomment the YUM base repositories line in /etc/yum.repos.d/
You now have installed Yellow Dog Linux for your SDTV.
Type:

Code:

reboot

This will reboot your PS3. Enter your username and password to log into YDL with a GUI.
