Thanks again MegaMan
I've finally managed to install Linux on to my 3000R . I did this through USB as I didn't have any network adapter. The installation part was a bit tricky as I had to disable onboard LAN/IDE so that the installation doesn't mess up. Secondly had to use a 4 port USB 1.1 hub (it works fine and the kernel detects that its a 4 port usb hub - this allowed me to connect my pen drive, keyboard and mouse) + the other port for my hdd
Oh , just want to add this for those who are going to install on slim ps2 or like me on usb ,
sda1 should be ext2 and not swap and sda2 should be swap. Otherwise it doesn't want to boot properly and it gives a kernel panic instead
Now , I am not a quest to try X11. I downloaded the complete BlackRhino package
Those who are looking for a complete one which comes with Gnome , X11 , all the bells and whistles , please do check out

Downlaod the - BlackRhinoFull locaated there
Okay when I want to start X11 , the whole thing throws me an error , saying this
it can't find mouse 0 in /dev/usbmouse
Then it throws me an IO error 131
I am using this config ->

Edit : Got Mouse to detect , X now detect mouse but then I can't use the mouse at all. I wonder if mouse support is compiled in the kernel or not . I could get to the GUI , but can't do anything as it doesn't want to respond to mouse
On the other hand when I ran cat /dev/mouse , it seems to throw some random stuff , like the clicks isn't registered. So I am thinking if its supported or not
I'll upload a screenshot later for you guys :P
