Thankyou, but I don't have the Linux Disc that Sony made for the PS2. What I am trying to do is run it with out the Linux Disc. This way I won't have to fork over tons of money just to get a linux/ any os to run on the PS2.

It says in every Linux release for the PS2 that it won't boot with out Disc 1(linux installer disc). I have also read on the PS2 linux site that you need Disc 1 to run any linux release. I have tried getting the modded BlackRhino with RTE code in it(boot able with out disc 1) ,but haven't found any working links/torrents. They have no one hosting the file.
