One more question... to install linux we must format our hardisk & make two partiton...so if i make a backup, after install linux when i restore the backup,is it the backup go to partition where ps3 os it, or it (the backup) will make Linux gone?

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 Linux OS. 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.

can custom set it?just can't find that option...only has allocate 10gb to other OS/ps3

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. tongue.gif The Default PS3 Browser was too slow/not supporting some things/easily hang.
