I am planning on installing Yellow Dog 5.0.2 on my ps3, and have a few questions:
1) What exactly does the Backup Utility backup? Does it save game saves, music, movies... What I really want to know is if my content off the the PSN will be saved like: game updates, my Warhawk Omega pack, games/demos, ect? Because the d/l times for some of those games/files are horrendous.
2) What is better Fedora or Yellow dog? I read that Yellow dog is just a version of Fedora, but I'm not sure which one is best in terms of functionality, efficiency, and applications.
3) I have a 200 GB (NTFS - maybe my problem?) USB HDD (Regular HDD in an external enclosure) and my PS3 wont recognize the hdd when I plug it in - Any suggestions? the drive works fine on my PC, This isn't that big of a deal since I can use a friend usb hdd if unnecessary, but it would be cool to have for the future.
I think that's about it, I have been researching these topics all afternoon and have run out of patients, so I appreciate any help any of you can offer me.
i am not shure is you can back up your psn content but to install a os you will need to format your ps3 hdd so you can make a partition(10gb) for the os and make shuer you have a usb mouse and keyboard
hey i can give you a bit of help if you need it first format ur exteral dive with ur pc to fat 32 that will sort the dive out
yellow dog is better because unlike the other two it wa made for the ps3 and i have used all 3 and yd is the best and its like a mac os its really cool (so too speak)
