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? Many thanks, John Goche
