I was wrong, I found out that most of the time Fedora Core Full install fails at install.
I must have had a fluke installing Fedora Core 6 before in Full mode. Because it worked then.
Every time after that Full installs failed. Couldn't figure out why, now I know.
However, I did find the solution for the non-mounting problem I had with minimum installs earlier.
They said mount using "mount /mnt/cdrom" however I would fail every time. After pain staking trial and arror,
I found out that if I did "mount /dev/cdrom" it would mount it. The reason the other wouldn't mount
properly because it was read only. After using /dev instead of /mnt I got the following confirming this.
"block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only"
So, I installed in minimum this time. Mounted the DVD of Fedora Core 6 and installed SSH and configured
my IP address. Now I am able to remote into my PC for command-line interfacing.
Useful for copy/paste long strings of command.
Used PuTTY to remote into the PS3.
Currently installing Install graphical mode, it is taking a wile. Took some screen shots of its progress.
Installed 17 separate RPM's. It would download it from the Fedora Core 6 DVD then ask if it should install them.
Some would take as much as 3 minutes or more to install part of one, witch could have any where from 20 to
250+ separate jobs to install per RPM.
Read about Ubuntu for PS3.
