[REQUEST] Step-by-step procedure in installing PKG files bigger than 4 Gb with HAN

Linux guide by me

1. on linux install apache2 for ubuntu
Code: 
sudo apt-get install apache2

2. the default directory for serving files is /var/www/html/ so simply create a symlink there to your large pkg with command
Code: 
sudo ln -s /path/to/your/game.pkg /var/www/html/

3. prepare your usb drive by creating a file called package_link.xml file on it paste the following xml into that file and make sure you change pkg_src pkg_src_qa to the local address of the pc you are hosting the pkg with and change content_id attribute to reflect the content id of the pkg you are installing
Code: 
<XMBML version="1.0">
 <View id="package_link">
 <Attributes>
 <Table key="pkg_main">
 <Pair key="icon"><String>/dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/icon/fah-xmb.png</String></Pair>
 <Pair key="title"><String>Direct link to package on PC</String></Pair>
 <Pair key="info"><String>Download and Install a Package from PC via Webserver</String></Pair>
 <Pair key="ingame"><String>disable</String></Pair>
 </Table>
 </Attributes>
 <Items>
<Query
 class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
 key="pkg_main"
 attr="pkg_main"
 src="#pkg_items"/>
 </Items>
 </View>
 
 <View id="pkg_items">
 <Attributes>
 <Table key="link001">
 <Pair key="info"><String>net_package_install</String></Pair>
 <Pair key="pkg_src"><String>http://192.168.0.100/Large_Package.pkg</String></Pair>
 <Pair key="pkg_src_qa"><String>http://192.168.0.100/Large_Package.pkg</String></Pair>
 <Pair key="content_name"><String>tool_pkg_install_pc</String></Pair>
 <Pair key="content_id"><String>EP0001-CONTENTID_00-0000000000000000</String></Pair>
 <Pair key="prod_pict_path"><String>/dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/icon/fah-xmb.png</String></Pair>
 </Table>
 </Attributes>
 <Items>
 <Item class="type:x-xmb/xmlnpsignup" key="link001" attr="link001"/>
 </Items>
 </View>
 
</XMBML>

4. plug the usb into the right-most usb port on your ps3 and with HAN enabled go to the package manager in XMB, there should be an option to install package over network now, click it, it will say you need to install software, select yes and it should install the package.

That's it, you might want to stop apache2 service afterward and stop it from automatically starting on bootup everytime just use google to figure that out.

You mean st00pid's Linux method? No.

By the way, how's PKG Linker different from PS3Xploit Resigner?

Watch the video.. its completely different, you need both. Linker will not resign your packages.

Also, it is a step by step guide lol , its not hard.

Thanks so much. Works perfectly! I'd like to make a simple script for Linux users that automates this process.

I'd prefer to use :
python3 -m http.server 80


Because you don't have to install Apache and most Linux users have Python already installed.

Thanks. Someone from GBATemp clarified me that PKG Linker requires a wired interconnection between the PC and PS3 via the modem.

I have yet to check out how slow this process would be...

Well no, you can use wifi but it will be very slow and might drop out, that is just the PS3 hardware, nothing we can about that, but it does have gigabit LAN, so if you can at least wire up PS3 side it will be quicker, but if you can wire up both PC and PS3 to a router it will be even quicker again, and then if you was to hook them up directly to each other with not router it might be even quicker again.

I can get 15GB in 18minutes using the last direct method. You need to put in manual Ips on both devices, see the PKG linker thread for more info (trouble shooting tab)

    Nice, I'm not a python guy so I didn't know that was an option. I'll have to give it a try.

Thanks for the instructions. I could really use the basics at this point.
 
So, it took me just now to try to install a PKG file in my PS3 but came across this error: "80029566"

This game is Bomberman Ultra and was signed using PKG Resigner 2.0.

I would like to insist that I have HAN enabled prior to this procedure and was able to install HAN Toolbox 0.3 as well.

Is it because this game is a possible "c00" demo and is the reason why it's causing the error?

For c00 games just install the pkg and c00 unlocker.pkg and the demo will change to full :)
