The goal is to make a playstation 2 work as if it were a regular computer machine.

• 1xPS2
• possible the network card for the ps2
• 1x linux os that is for the playstation
• 1x USB key board+mouse

From the references there is a lot of info how to install but no really understand the step to actually make the CD or install the O.S. on a hard-drive. Since the larger PS2 do not have a hard-drive the network card will be needed inorder to install one. There are currently two types of O.S. for the Play-station that are well know for compatibility. Other Linux OS are possible but some special configuration is needed.
