Sorry - I have to ask this. Do you have networking set up?

If so, paste this link into a browser and see what you get:
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resou ... base-mlist

You should see something like this:
http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yello ... /6.1/base/
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/yellowdog/yum/6.1/base/
http://ftp.aarnet.edu.au/pub/yellowdog/yum/6.1/base/
http://ftp4.sane-project.org/opsys/linu ... /6.1/base/
http://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ft ... /6.1/base/

If you don't - you might have networking issues.

Thanks Paul for the reply.I was able to fix the problem by adding more mirrors to the livna-stable list and fixed it.I was also able to grt youtube working with mplayer,now my question is hot to get sites like veoh and megavideo to work considering they use adobe flash.Just remember a am new to this kind of stuff but am figuring it out.

Yeah - that's a tough one. If they don't work with gnash - the open source, reverse engineered Adobe Flash alternative that comes pre-installed in YDL - I'm not sure what you can do.

Personally - since there's no true Adobe Flash for PowerPC Linux - I just don't even try messing around with these kind of sites. It just seems like too much of a hassle to try and figure out how to get this stuff to work. If I really need to go there, I just flip back to the GameOS browser.

Maybe someone else can jump in this thread with some advice for you. Also - you might try using the forum search feature above and see if any one else has tried these sites.

Cheers,

Thanks once again Paul.I know this is off the subject but what exactly do i have to do to get azureus running.i do not understand how or where to do port forwarding.if you need router info it is a speedstream 6520 wireless gateway.if you could help with this i would be appreciated.
thanks

You'll have to open up the PS3's firewall. If your wireless gateway supports UPnP, then you're done. Otherwise, you'll have to figure out how to configure port forwarding on your wireless router. I've never heard of a speedstream 6520 - so you'll have to find documentation for that.

Here's the quick summary from my old post: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3090&p=11979&hilit=azureus+ssdp#p11979

1. Add a PS3 firewall rule for Azureus_random_port/tcp
2. Add a PS3 firewall rule for Azureus_random_port/udp
3. Add a PS3 firewall rule for ssdp/udp
4. Enjoy the sweet sweet download speed of Azureus.

If you're using the default YDL environment E17 - you can get to the Firewall control via (YDL LOGO) --> Applications --> System Tools --> Security Level and Firewall

Also - you'll need to install IBM's Java if you want any kind of speed out of Azureus. YDL doesn't ship with a true Java. Instead, they ship with GNU's GCJ - an buggy, bloated, slow, reverse engineered open source version of Sun's Java. Unfortunately, Sun doesn't have a PowerPC Linux Java - but IBM does. (And - it's Sun licensed to boot!)

There's more about installing IBM's Java here:
viewtopic.php?t=2935

You'll also need to create a symbolic link to the IBM Java binary in /usr/local/bin. This will override the GCJ Java binary.

If you install IBM Java 6.0, enter this command from a terminal window as root user:
ln -s /opt/ibm/java-ppc-60/jre/bin/java /usr/local/bin

If you install IBM Java 5.0, enter this command from a terminal window as root user:
ln -s /opt/ibm/java2-ppc-50/jre/bin/java /usr/local/bin

Paul
