<div>Hi!</div> <div> </div> <div>Good news first, I was successfully able to install Fedora 8 ppc version on my PS3. There are 3 issues right now that i am facing and hope to get all of them resolved.....</div> <div> </div> <div>1. Whenever I try to shutdown or restart it comes up with the message "System halting" when shutting down and nothing happens, it displays "stand by while the system is restartin...." still nothing happens. I just get a blinking cursor. Eventually in the end I have to restart or shutdown by pressing the power on m PS3 manually. </div> <div> </div> <div>2. When I try to mount any USB external hard drive, I get a message for "Unable to mount", when i check the details it shows that there was an improper shutdown/restart. This issue could be in turn related to the above issue. Is there any way I could forcefully mount the External USB Hard drive. </div> <div> </div> <div>3. Thirdly, I do not have an internet connection enabled on my PS3, hence I cannot download and install the YUM Updates. Is there any way that I can manually download the updates and then install them on fedora 8 ppc. This is very important for me as whenever I am trying to install any application such as VLC or any other application it gives me the following: </div> <div> </div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><b><font face="Times New Roman">Error while installing VLC rpm (OR any Software for that matter)</font></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Unable to retrieve software information</font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Unable to retrieve software information.
