First of all - I gotta ask - does your TV support 720p? The penguins are displayed in 480i SD (Standard definition.) It sounds like your TV doesn't support HD. If it doesn't, you'll have to do a text install, then enable graphics afterwards, per these instructions:

P.S. This is for NTSC. If your TV is PAL based, the penguins would be 576i.

srry for being dense but i went to the link and it tells me how to get out of a text intall but does not tell how to initialize the text install. could i trouble you guys for more help

[jdcrossed]

nevermind ive got the manuel lol who knew there was one haha thank u all for your help and dont be surprised if i come back needing more lol happy holidays

k im back lol Heres the problem now when i get past the installation and i reboot i hit a brick wall. All of my directions say yaboot and my screen prompt is kboot so is there a difference in the process? If not i m am equally confused as to where to begin with the text/video change as per instructions i type in command on first line and hit enter for the second line and it gives me a error message Arrrggg im no programmer obviously but i had no idea how easy it is to confuse me haha

No - the directions are correct. However - before you reboot you need to take the installation DVD out of the drive. This will let the PS3 get past the kboot: step. It should only stay on kboot: for a couple of seconds before the 2nd stage bootloader kicks in. If it doesn't, you have the installer DVD in the drive, or you have other boot issues.

k im not getting any where with restarting in graphic mode i am going through the directions and things are happening they are just not happening the way the directions say. once i type in Xautoconfig it is saying 'wrote /etc/11/xorg.conf' then it says [root@jocorrb-]# it doesnt open a file for me to edit like directions say
also i made a mistake before in tell yall i was running 6.1 its actually 6.2
Thanks all

It doesn't automatically open the file for you to edit -- they just neglected to include instructions for editing the file. Try these directions instead:
