Does anyone know of a Freeware Linux for the Playstation2 that doesn't need Sony's special PS2 Linux disc to run. I don't want to have to buy the Linux disc that sony made, I just want to be able to boot it using my AR or cog swap. Thanks

There is only one other Linux which is Blackrhino http://blackrhino.xrhino.com/
But if you install any linux you will wipe your PS2 HDD, there is a special way to get both hdloader and Linux on 1 HDD but i think linux must be on it first.
Also dont multipost (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/405920) against forum rules, the PS2 is not powerful enough to run anything other than Linux.

There is a specially modded blackrhino that has it built in, as it has Sony property it is illegal for them to host but it can be found on other sites try bittorrent.

yep that sites just what was needed, found it straight away http://btjunkie.org/torrent?do=stat&id=3...f5eb0bce74a73b5
try that, its not the modified image but it is the Sony RTE disc and the doc it comes with might tell how to install blackrhino.

I think i might be behind a firewall that my brother put up. I am able to use Limewire. Is there any way I can get it through there.
