Subject: PS3 debian installation questions

Hi.
I'm a debian linux user and have installed and used debian in my PS3. I
saw the Geoff updated version of ps3-debian-install-howto and stay very happy
to see that debian installation become PS3 friendly. I try to follow that
tutorial to see the debian installer progress, but have few problems.
First. Trying to use the daily d-i build the installer doesn't recognize
the PS3 network card and BD drive. I was using the PS3 connected with cable,
not wireless. So, the installer just don't can go further.
Second. I just give a try to debian 5.0.4 release. Using the install64
option and the installer is started, but here also the PS3 BD drive and netwrk
card is note recognized. Again I can't go further to install debian on PS3.
I have write two ps3 debian install tutorial. One using USB Pendrive and
CD to install[1] and another using only a USB Pendrive[2]. In both I have used
the vmlinux kernel from old PS3 LDSK iso image. The installation is like an
usual PC installation, but few options like language selection and keyboard
model are not complete, not shown, for example, the ABNT2 keyboard model. So I
wish to update/improve my tutorial to debian leeny and future releases.
Can you give some feedback and help to make the debian PS3 installation
more user friendly?
Thanks in advance and best regards.
Fabiano.

Hello I am going to try your tutorial to try and install Debian Squeeze. I see
that your tutorial is for installing Debian Lenny. Will it work for Debian
Squeeze? Thanks.
