Tried Ubuntu Live DVD. It was not working, found that it was a bad burn. Did a re-burn in 2x burn for better chance of good burn. Retried Ubuntu Live DVD, it worked. It booted up well. It auto-detected DHCP and DNS servers, so internet worked well on the first try without doing any settings.

Tried Firefox on Ubuntu Live DVD, it worked well. Starting took a little to start however it worked well.
Tried OpenOffice Word, it worked well. As in Firefox, OpenOffice ran a little slow to start, a few minutes. However, once it was up and running it ran well.

I saved OpenOffice Word Document as a .doc file. Then I saved it to a flash drive. Opened the document in Microsoft Office 2003 on my laptop. It worked well. Then brought it back to PS3 and opened .doc file in OpenOffice and added Header. Then opened in Office 2003 again, to see if the Header would work properly, it did.

I believe the reason for software starting slowly is because it is running off of the DVD rather than the Hard Drive.

Discovered a resolution that works well in the PS3. Using Ubuntu Live DVD I found that:

Good Resolution: 480i TV

Ubuntu Live DVD Default Resolution: 576x384
Ubuntu Live DVD Default Refresh Rate: 30 Hz

Is a good resolution for reading and navigating on a tv. Now I need to find out how to force that resolution on Fedora Core 6.

Wile trying Ubuntu Live DVD, at restart to get back into Fedora Core 6, Ubuntu Live DVD started to install Ubuntu onto the PS3. Once I realized that the DVD was installing Ubuntu I shutdown the PS3. It was to late. The PS3 OS was corrupt.


Reinstalled Fedora Core 6 was reinstalled. Minimum install this time.

Attempted to install GUI. However, had problem mounting cdrom. Without the cdrom mounted I cant install the GUI.
Did online research, as well as attempting many different methods of mounting the cdrom/DVD of Fedora Core 6.
Non have worked. If I cant figure it out by Sunday, I will reinstall in Full Mode.
