Ok well I am gonna install Linux tomorrow (YDL 5.0.1). I was wondering after I install it, how do I run games, videos. music, demo's, and the PSN?

Will I have to return to the original OS in order to do so?

Also, can someone please post a screenshot of your PS3 post linux installation (A pic of your TV while its running linux)? I just wanna know how its all set-up.

Thanks.

You would need to return to the XMB to do those. The main reason I installed Linux was because of the possibility of backing up games and stuff to the HDD and then booting...

Ok well it did not work. I got to the installation (where it says "This may take several minutes") and then it gave me some corrupt error bs. Oh well, all I wanted was my emu's on the PS3.

just my luck tho.

Try it again... mine didn't work the first time because i chose the wrong options. and with most people i think you can run the command "boot-game-os" (without inverted commas) and then Linux will shut down and the PS3 os will start to boot, this doesn't work with me so i have to shut down Linux manually and hold the powering on button until i get to the480p screen and have to choose my prefered resolution. anyone else have this problem?
