April 5th 2008 - First real install attempt (screenshots)

System.Console.WriteLine("hi") ;

This are the screenshots of the first attempt of having installed the PlayStation 2 Linux
into my SCPH-50001 US console

I had the problem of double characters when typing (whenever I wanted to type the ls command it appeared sometimes as lss and others as llss, it was fine until I wanted to enter root password 'CAUSE I COULDN'T WROTE TWO EQUAL PASSWORDS.

The Gear

The Dell USB keyboard (I'm mad at it for the double character stuff)

The Linux for PlayStation 2 DVD box

Both DVD look nice in the ps2

PS2 Linux installer (anaconda) welcome screen

And if the problem is ONE keyboard doesn't function with the playstation 2...
