Yo DavGerm4 man,

You goto help me.
I think i messed up really badley. When i wanted to instal the bootloader, it showed only hte .bld one, not the .self one . So i installed it, and then it said to go to system menu, and change the defoult os to other os, and so i did.
When i start my PS3, a black screen shows and 2 penguins and a lot of long writing. And when i try to put in the cd image, it just goes blank and dosen't do much. PLzzzzzzzzzz help me man.

Try putting the install disc in before you switch to the other os.

Just hold down your power button for a long time. It will reset to your ps3 menu.

Where did you get the file from? Try downloading and burning this one.

http://mirror.anl.gov/yellowdog/iso/yell...0061208-PS3.iso

When I installed I didn't need a separate anything, everything was burned on the one DVD.

dam, now i'm dowloading 4 disk images. by the way, do u have to re-instal linux if u want 5.0.1?
and i'm downloading 5.0.2, is it for PS3? Cose the rest of them on the title have PS3 written, this one dosen't. Cose i thought that maybe i should just download the 5.0.2, so i can have the newest one.
tnx for the link dow, i'm dowloading it. ahhhhhhh........ 20 more hours till dowload of all of them.............. and to think i wanted to fo it fast, i wanted to finish in an hour or so,,,,,,,,,

Just download the one with PS3 written on it. Also I think you can just format the linux partition to get it to work.

I think you press tab till you get to Install YDL and then you click enter.

Haha no problem. Glad to see it worked out.

I deleted Linux from my PS3 as it was kind of useless, plus I don't have a wireless keyboard and mouse lol.

Are you looking for size? Nothing beats a projection TV if you want size. They aren't that bad image wise either.

This is about the best you can get for the money. These Sony sets VERY good.

Ya, i want size, but one thing i'm afraid off, if they are really bulky.
and if they need maitenance, like to repair or replace the lamp in the projection or something like that, cose i was reading on other sites as well, and they kinda support more the rear DLP, more than LCD, but i still don't get all the minor details between all of those things.

The maintenance on those Tvs isn't much. All you might need to do is change the bulb in about3-4 years which isn't very hard.
