Preparation

1. Install Sony Playstation 2 Linux on /dev/hda1
2. Ideally, create a new 4GB partition for BlackRhino GNU/Linux 1.0.
   Minimally, create a new 1GB partition.
3. Mount the new partition

  Example:
  . fdisk /dev/hda
    . n (Create a new partition.)
    . p (The new partition will be primary.)
    . 3 (/dev/hda3 will be the new partition's designation.)
    . +4096M (It will be given a size of 4GB.)
    . w (Write the new partition table and quit.)
  . mke2fs /dev/hda3
  . mkdir /mnt/brl
  . mount -t ext2 /dev/hda3 /mnt/brl

Getting the base mini-image

4. Change your current working directory to the newly mounted partition.
5. Download the BlackRhino GNU/Linux base mini-image from one of the 
   distribution sites into that directory.
   (http://blackrhino.xrhino.com/main.php?page=download)

  Example:
  . cd /mnt/brl
  . wget wget http://playstation2-linux.com/files/blackrhino/blackrhino_baseimage-1.0.tar.gz

Installation

. Un-tar blackrhino_baseimage-1.0.tar.gz to the newly mounted partition
. Edit your network configuration found in etc/network/interfaces
  (examples can be found in usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/)
  Note: Since dynamic network support is not included in the stock 
  v2.2.1 Sony Playstation 2 Linux kernel, you must initially
  use a static network configuration (or a different kernel with
  dynamic support).
. Edit the etc/hostname and etc/resolv.conf files to reflect your desired 
  hostname and DNS configuration.
. Edit your etc/apt/sources.list file and choose your preferred BlackRhino 
  GNU/Linux package mirror.
. Edit your etc/fstab to reflect the new BlackRhino boot partition.
. Edit your memory card's p2lboot.cnf file and add an entry to boot 
  into the newly created BlackRhino GNU/Linux partition.
. If you would like to have the system display on a television, set the
  display entry of p2lboot.opt equal to "ntsc" or "pal".
. Reboot into your new BlackRhino GNU/Linux distribution.
  Note: Only the root account exists in the base mini-image and its
  password is empty.

  Example (you should be in the /mnt/brl directory):
  . tar zxvf /mnt/brl/blackrhino_baseimage-1.0.tar.gz
  . vi /mnt/brl/etc/network/interfaces 
    . Use the templates in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/ if needed
  . vi /mnt/brl/etc/hostname
    . Enter your desired hostname
  . vi /mnt/brl/etc/resolv.conf
    . Enter your domain on the first line, and DNS IP addresses on subsequent
      lines
  . vi /mnt/brl/etc/apt/sources.list
    . Uncomment a "deb" line to activate that mirror.
  . vi /mnt/brl/etc/fstab
    . Change your root ("/") entry so that it uses /dev/hda3.
  . mount -t ps2mcfs /dev/ps2mc00 /mnt/mc00
  . vi /mnt/mc00/p2lboot.cnf
    . Add a line similar to the following:
      "BlackRhino" vmlinux "" 203 /dev/hda3 "" BlackRhino GNU/Linux 1.0
  . vi /mnt/mc00/p2lboot.opt
    . Add the following line:
      display=ntsc
  . reboot
  . blackrhino login: root
    Password: [Press the Enter key]

Updating your system

. After you have booted your BlackRhino GNU/Linux system, make 
  sure that everything is working correctly by trying to ping 
  www.playstation2-linux.com. If you can ping that address, 
  your network is configured properly.
. Perform a dselect update of the system.

  Example:
  . ping www.playstation2-linux.com
  . dselect
    . U <enter> (Update the package database.)
    . S <enter> <space> <enter> (Select packages. 
                                 Make changes if you like.)
    . I <enter> (Install new packages. 
                 Wait for the process to finish.) 
    . Y <enter> (Allow dselect to remove the installed 
                 package archives.)
    . Q <enter> (Quit dselect.)
