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

kboot: ydl480i

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

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.

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:

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

Now run Xautoconfig by typing it at the command prompt.

Xautoconfig

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

editdiff /etc/inittab

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

id:3:initdefault:

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

id:5:initdefault:

Now press the ESC key and type:

:exit

Now edit the file /etc/kboot.conf

editdiff /etc/kboot.conf

Find the line that reads:

default=ydl

Change it to:

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:

reboot

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

remove the # from the beginning of the lines in the text file. you need to open up the file in a text editor in your windows manager, whatever you are using.
