    Hi, I want to install PS2 Linux on my PS2.
    I have all the stuff, apart from I don't have the original install disk, it is burned disk. As far as I know, I only have to run the two disks to install it, and so after that it uses the MC to boot from the HD. What would be the best way to do this? To load up the disks? I would assume FMCB, and that leads me to the next question. I already have access to a PS2 with Linux (but of course, I want my own ) and so, I am able to write files to a MC via that. Thus, I could put the files that I would usually write to a Memor32 card, and then I could boot from that or something...?

    Hope you guys can help, thanks!

    PS2 V7/CC1.0 (FW:34 hacked v2 BM:2.1.6); Maxtor DiamondMAX9 PLUS 160GB
    PS2 SCPH-30004R; NoMod+NoLaser

    3xSony BBA
    3xSony MC 8MB
    MAX/Datel 16MB with Boot-CD
