Added on June 26, 2007, 7:46 amANOTHER UPDATE 0741 HRS...

Upon the successful installation of Fedora Core 5 and VLC + Mplayer....I then continue to perform the restoration of my PS3 os...remember back when I said I performed the back-up utility from PS3 system settings....

Well....upon restoring the content..again using the function in System Settings....they restored all the game demo and also purchased PSN games...together with Game Data System (Update files, and also oblivion game date, etc) and also my Save game files...not to mention the usual pic, mp3 and video files...

so that means I don't have to re download all them games again....Great one Sony...I really really love my PS3 now...

thats y, never send me your bki dest so sure cannt work lah. muahahaha. anyway i think u have to set the config file inorder to run xwin in 480 which myself also didnt try.

I can't really comment on ydl as after I read through the installation steps is quite diff from fedora core 5.

but if you are interested in installing fedora core 5, you can follw the easy steps in the link below

http://linuxps3.net/articles/features/inst...n-your-ps3.html

I wanna try to install YDL after this but I'm afraid that my precious FC5 with vlc+mplayer will be gone.....see first if I have free time to try...to install...

I'll rad up summore...then I'll post sumthing to help you out...

Added on June 26, 2007, 10:22 amNeed to log in????!!!! What??!!!

I never register for anything...that is wierd...

maybe ther's something wrong with their server/website...I can view the pages fine last night....damn...if only I printed it out....

everything is pretty straight forward except for setting up networking...the command line is quite long....which means we need the link to be working.... :dizzy:

Added on June 26, 2007, 10:38 amFound some info...apprerantly...only Fedora Core 6 support wi-fi...though it is not yet stable...unless you really need wi-fi I suggest you better make you ydl installation works because Fedora Core 6 installation will take up all 10GB partition and you will need to uninstall most of the stuff that you don't want like openoffice and etc to free up space.

Added on June 26, 2007, 10:44 amIf you want to try and install Fedora Core 6

you can go here

http://forums.qj.net/f-ps3-linux-283/t-how...-ps3-88431.html

don't be surprised on just how much you need to do as the installation in the thread is minimal + some of the more important items rather than install full then uninstalll them...

the better choice is to do minimal and then add the things we want...as per the above link...
