Guides like this have been floating around the PS3 forums for ages, lol. But it's still good to see an official one. I installed Fedora on my PS3 once, but never really used it.

Hi Motomatt, I forunately did not have this problem, but can you please try these troubleshooting steps here: 15 percent crash troubleshooting. If you get it to work please post here or PM me so I can update the guide to include troubleshooting. Thank you.

Damn this reminds me, I made a tutorial for the installation of YDL 6.1 on the PS3 that I have to submit...it's tailored for the use/installation of an all in one emulator but it can be partially used for our guide. Hey DVDBack under what Category did you put this under?
