Installing Ubuntu 8.04 to my PS3
Tagged with: linux • PS3 • Technical • Ubuntu
So far I haven’t gotten very far. I had to re-install my main computer because I got viruses and crap. Then I had to move files from my USB hard drive to my main computer to reformat it. PS3′s can’t recognize NTFS so I need to reformat the USB HD with a FAT32 volume. Once I get Ubuntu installed I can do this type of work a lot faster on the PS3…
Anyways, so the next step is to backup my PS3 onto the USB HD and then create the partitions, the install Ubuntu, restore the backup, and see how nicely Ubuntu plays…
I will update when I have something juicy

Actually I believe PS3s can recognize FAT32 just fine, but they don’t recognize NTFS. Last I checked the manual anyway.

Oops that was an error on my part… I meant NTFS not FAT32…
