ok so about this linux , i read that in ydl ps3 guide , it says that it is recommended that we give a majority of the partition to ydl , so if i partition it 70gb and 10gb , i am recommended to give 70gb to ydl ? so now my gameos is just 10gb to install demo , game data and whatnot? is that a bit small ? anyone installed this linux on ps3 ? did u guys just give it 10gb for it ? and the rest for gameos ? so many questions . thx in advance for the answers that is going to come in any time soon . tongue.gif

10GB for GameOS is freakin' small. tongue.gif Games like Devil May Cry requires 5GB data installation to PS3 HDD before you can start playing.

Unless you're planning to use PS3 as your full-pledge PC, it's better to allocate bigger partition to GameOS, and 10GB to OtherOS. If 10GB is not enough, you can still use external hard-disk for your Linux.

ps: i'm still working on the demo list. will inform you once completed.  laugh.gif

I just succesfully installed Yello dog linux 6.1 on my ps3.

is anyone using this right now ? video playback on it is not good at all. perhaps i configure it wrongly or something , has anyone succesfully config their ydl 6.1 to play video without ANY problem ?

im using this guide http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Enab...-1-101664.shtml i did get vlc running but then not that satisfactory. the picture when fullscreen is somewhat pixelated a bit and then when i double click on the screen to make it fullscreen , it went blank and just sounds can be hear from the video.

any linux on ps3 sifu here to point to the right direction. i know there is a few here *ahem ninja *ahem comeout

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.
