Ok i am about to install ydl 6.1 on my ps3. I have a few installation guides i have bookmarked and a few youtube videos bookmarked also. I have searched and googled but still have a few questions that are bugging me. I have never used linux before.
In all the guides/vids i have came across it says to partition 10 gigs to otheros when formatting the ps3HDD. My question is; does it have to be 10gigs ? If i want to partition my drive for 30 gigs to ps3XMB and 30 gigs to YDL is that ok ? Is there a reason everyone uses only 10gigs that i am missing ?
I am not 100% confident i will enter my network information correct. If i make a mistake will i be able to go back and adjust it without having to reinstall from scratch ?
I have read that when you set linux to run at 1080p the letters become very small and hard to read, is it really better to set it to 720p on a display capable of 1080p. I am currently using a 24" monitor that is 1920x1200. When i turn my ps3 on it is set to display a 1:1 picture so the monitor puts black bars at the top and bottom instead of stretching it. While using linux is there any way to run at 16:10 and have it at 1920x1200 or 1680x1050 (or whatever that res is)
All i have kicking around my house are Duel layers dvds, do i need to go buy a standard 4.7gig dvdr or will a dldvd work ?
