[ydl-gen] PS3: low resolution text console (4th posting attempt)
I have been having some trouble posting this message to the yellowdog general mailing list. This is my 4th attempt. I hope it goes through this time... I have ordered a PS3/fixstars with yellowdog linux 6.1 installed. I would like to use it with the composite cable that comes in the box. Never mind the graphics, I would be happy to simply utilize it in textmode (on redhatlinux/fedora this can be achieved by pressing CTRL-ALT-F1) from the graphical login screen. If possible, I would like to boot into textmode directly from the kboot boot-loader by passing a bootstring to the loader. Furthermore, I presume I will need to know the root password since the PS3 which I have purchased came with linux pre-installed. Does anyone know what this password is or how I can obtain it? I would also like to know whether upon booting yellowdoglinux, the PS3 will connect to my wireless home network. Presumably, in order for it to connect, I would have to supply it with, at a minimum the SSID-network name to connect to the wireless reuter. Is it possible to perform this operation from the command line?

[ydl-gen] Setting up a Dual G$ machine as a NAS
Hello All I'm a newbie and would like some help setting up YDL on a dual G4 tower. I'd like to set up a NAS box that supports AFP and FTP. I was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction on to get started?

Hi John: Many, if not all of the questions you've asked can be addressed by looking here: http://us.fixstars.com/support/solutions/ydl_6.x/ Although I'm a longtime user of YDL, I don't currently own or use a PS3. However you could also find useful information and guidance from the YDL Community Board which is available here: http://yellowdog-board.com/ Becoming a member of the YDL Board is free as well as a different way to gather information fairly quickly. I've addressed the nature and purpose of root and user mode here: http://yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=4t=6006p=31264#p31264/ All the best...
