No, Its something like window's dual-boot. You get to boot up either the normal XMB or linux So Ps3 games are still playable cause you have a make a partition on your harddisk for the linux OS

I heard only PS3 Fat can install Linux. This option was removed for PS3 Slim unless you hack it.
So far the performance is okay, but after a while the OS will start to lag a bit. There is an option for you to go back to PS3/Game OS. 1 problem i've encountered is, i cannot change the screen Resolution. Dunno why. So i opted to install the linux in 720p setting in the very beginning instead. You will need to plug a USB Mouse & Keyboard in order to install it. http://man3k.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/yell...ux-6-1-for-ps3/ This post has been edited by man3k: Aug 30 2009, 04:53 PM |

700mb is for Live Disc. Live Disc are meant to only install Linux OS essentials. You will need to download other programs/utilities through the update panel. However, a fully packed 3.xGB ISO/DVD is ready to install anything you select.

Ya, only the Fat PS3 can install YDL. Slimline version has this option taken away
A question, for PS3 users who has install YDL 6.1, is it possible to upgrade it to 6.2 without uninstalling the 6.1? Something like windows update? This post has been edited by Thrust: Aug 30 2009, 05:05 PM |

Once you've formatted the PS3 HDD and Make 2 Partitions. Your Restored Backup Data will go to your PS3 Side of the HDD Partition. It will not make your linux disappear. For safety reasons, it's better to backup your data to an External ThumbDrive or HDD.
Before formatting, there is an option to Allot/Allocate 10GB of your PS3 HDD for Other OS. *Corrected* This post has been edited by man3k: Aug 30 2009, 05:50 PM |

But if you feel 10GB is too much for linux. You can Custom set it yourself around 6GB. The rest will be for gaming purposes. |

Sorry, my bad. There isn't any option for it actually. Now that my PC is fixed. I no longer use linux on the PS3 so much. Either Way, 10GB is okay. (That is if you don't install too much games on the PS3) Try viewing these youtube video for guides.

honestly , i installed linux on ps3 but then im not that into linux , so it went unused for sometime until i revert back my hdd to contain only gameos , so now no more linux for me. my reason to install linux is try to get mkv file to play in linux on my ps3 , i cant get it to work properly. so i just gave up.

Yeah, i simply did it for fun. At the time my pc had a problem. So i was desperate for an internet browser and word processor. The Default PS3 Browser was too slow/not supporting some things/easily hang.
I would like to remind, Do BACKUP your PS3 games/settings/saves before format. Else your games/saves WILL be LOST. Use any media storage you have, be it a Thumbdrive or External HDD. Better be safe than losing your hard-earned game progress. This post has been edited by man3k: Aug 31 2009, 09:33 PM |
