I have recently got linux yellow dog for my ps3. Since i've installed it, I've been getting the message -do not have permission- on about everything i try to do. How do i change my security settings to fix this problem? Its linux yellow dog. (red hat nash) ver 6.0. I would also like to know how to restore to default. Just like it was when I first started it. Can that be done? Again ........Thanks for the support.

I admit I don't have any experience using Yellow Dog Linux, but usually 'permission denied' means that you're trying to do something that's for administrators only, so you might need to gain root access before you can do whatever you're trying to do. What tasks are you trying to perform?

If that's not the problem, it could have something to do with your filesystem (perhaps the permissions got screwed up a little bit).

I can't get access to add or remove programs. I got this info on terrasoft web site:Install or Remove Applications
You may add or remove applications to an installed Yellow Dog Linux system using the application the "Package Manager" which is found via YDL Menu --> Applications --> System Tools --> Add/Remove Software.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The Package Manager will fail to run if you do not have a) internet access; and b) a proper yum repository configured.

It is suggested that you use the List TAB to select or deselect the apps to be installed or removed, not the Browse listing.

When using the Package Manager, be very careful! If you deselect a package set and commit the chance, it will remove the entire package set from your local installation. This can be rather dangerous for you could inadvertently render your system useless if not careful. ALWAYS pay attention to the full list of items to be removed before acknowledging the modification.

Now my next problem is to figure out how to configure yum repositorys. Any sudgestions? I thought all this would be done by default when i downloaded this program. This is very complicated! If you have any input, please let me know! Thanks for your help.
