Hello everyone I was wondering if someone could help me with this,
I am trying to do a HTTP install of YDL 6.2 on my PS3 (Firmware 2.80). As I have a dead Blu Ray drive I cannot install from a disk.
Basically I get the 'cannot retrieve' error when I point the install to http://ydl.oregonstate.edu/releases/yellowdog-6.2/os
When I include all the contents of the YDL iso apart from the Yellowdog and PS3 folder on the USB stick I get the error...
cannot retrieve minstg2.img
and when I only include the ramdisk.image.gz, vmlinux & yaboot.conf from the ppc64 folder on the USB stick I get the error...
cannot retrieve stage2.img
I noticed the 'double slash issue' in the error message that some of you may know about (http://ydl.oregonstate.edu//releases/yellowdog-6.2/os) but I dont know how to stop the install automatically putting that in or even if it matters.
When I click HTTP install for the first time it says 'sending request for IP information for eth0...' And it takes a while, I don't even know if that means its able or unable to connect to the internet (never asks me for my ISP username and password).
This is my first time installing linux so I really need step by step instructions, im sure there probably some explanation and way to solve this.
I would really appreciate the help, ive been fighting with this for days and days!
Thanks
