I'm new here, and I VERY much like what I see so far (helped more than all my other boards combined...).
I'm doing something wrong, and I'm not sure what, but I can't see any Download section on ps3hax.com...is the main page something else?
I had already downloaded all the packages from the "Software Updater" under applications, so I'm getting different messages than everyone else, but I haven't been able to get the updated .conf file either.
My total time spent with Linux amounts to like four days, but I'm liking it a lot and am excited about learning it. Please bare with me, I know I'll ask some dumb questions.
Hi everyone, I just got a ps3 and I finally got it running yellowdog 5.0.1. I was following the Yum tutorial up until the point of downloading the updated yum and repo files, but the downloads section is not up yet. Could someone post an alternative download of the 'Updated yum and repo' files or at least point me to the right direction. I am pretty much a linux noob but I am slowly learning the ins and outs. Thanks in advance.
Email is definitely possible. I would greatly appreciate if somebody could send me the files. Just send them to [Please register to see this link. ] Thanks Again.
I keep getting the same errors that ssjahrodss from the first page got. Instead of everyone saying oh I figured it out could someone please post what they did. Also the posts that say go to the DOWNLOAD section and download this file, does not really help since there isn't one.
Finally I was able to get it. for all of you who are still having trouble try this. the 1st thing I did was when I turned on my PS3 I inserted the YDL 5.0.1 DVD. I already had everything changed as per the instructions on the first page of the post. First off in the Yum.conf you need to delete the lines in red
What it says from this tutorial:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=yellowdog-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
[freshrpms]
name=Fresh 4.0 rpms
baseurl=http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/yellowdog/4.0/
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
name=Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 base
baseurl=http://ydl.osuosl.org/yum/5.0/base/RPMS/
name=Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 updates
baseurl=http://ydl.osuosl.org/yum/5.0/updates/
What it needs to say:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=yellowdog-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
Then change the Fedora-Extras
What it says from this tutorial:
[fedora-extras]
name=Fedora Extras
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/ppc
gpgcheck=0
enabled=0
What it needs to say:
[fedora-extras]
name=Fedora Extras
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/ppc
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
Then go to the Terminal and type:
yum search yumex
Then type:
yum install yumex
and finally type:
yumex
After you are finished change the Fedora-Extra.repo back
I found the changes for the yum.conf file and the Fedora-Extra.repo at:

I hope this helps everyone who is still having trouble.
Hi
Brand new too site and useless on computers. I got 2 problems trying to follow these instructions.
1. Cant save files after i altered text in the yum files, says i dont have permission.
2. When i try to create new document in yum folder it wont let me (option greyed out). I have however, managed to create these folders on the desktop (dont know if this might work).
I was also wondering if anyone could tell me how to get everything to save to my hard drive rather than ps3?
