PS3, Linux & Exploit

[original version]

Hello again.
I am going to install ubuntu-8.10-alternate. It can be downloaded here.

To continue we also need to download the exploit, in this case the xorloser Geohot exploit. It can be downloaded here.

OtherOS installation.
It should be easy. Once downloaded you have to burn the image on a CD (nero, deepburner, etc).
Then you introduce it in the PS3 and then go to "System Settings", "Install other operating system". It will look for this file /CD/PS3/OTHEROS.BLD in the reader. We select that we want to install it.
Once installed, we go to "Default System" and we select "Other OS". The PS3 will restart and the Ubuntu install will begin.
(Be aware that if we don't have reserved the space in the hard disk for another operating system we won't be able to install it).
The installation is simple, just follow the steps.

Exploit installation.
Once Ubuntu is installed we can continue with the Exploit.
Mainly I have installed the SSH server so I can connect to the PS3 from my PC and control the console as if I was there. It is not necesary
You can se the commands executed for the installation(if you need anything just leave a comment) and the complete log here:

linux@PS3:~$ sudo -s
root@PS3:~# mkdir Exploit
root@PS3:~# cd Exploit/
root@PS3:~/Exploit# wget http://xorloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/xorhack.zip
root@PS3:~/Exploit# unzip xorhack.zip
root@PS3:~/Exploit# ls
root@PS3:~/Exploit#mv /usr/src/linux-ports-headers-2.6.25-2/ /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-2/
root@PS3:~/Exploit# make
root@PS3:~/Exploit# ls
root@PS3:~/Exploit# make install
root@PS3:~/Exploit#
