In other words, before staring Linux installation, you need to get “OtherOS Installer” from SCEI web site and customized “kboot” from Linux distributor, respectively. Then you install “kboot” to PS3, using “OtherOS Installer”. Please refer manual of “OtherOS Installer” and installation manual of Linux distribution, for details.
The customized “kboot” which you installed, may contain corresponding proper installation program for Linux distribution, you choose.

Insert into your PS3′s disk drive your Ubuntu Linux software that you have downloaded free online and have burnt to a disc as an ISO image file. Go to ‘System Settings’ then scroll down to ‘Install Other OS’. The system will carry out a scan and the disk you inserted into the disk drive should be picked up.
Once you select ‘Enter’ a blue boot screen will pop up, the same as you see on a computer and you will be guided through all the installation steps just like you would be when installing any other software on your computer. Your controller will stop working during this process so you need to have your USB mouse and keyboard plugged in before you start.
