It's best if you break up your sentence into separate questions. It's really hard to answer what you've posted, since there's no clear breaks between your questions.
Nevertheless, I shall try to answer your questions. Here's my guess as to what you're asking:
1. Flashdrive. That probably won't work. The normal way of installing YDL 6.2 is from a DVD created from an ISO you download. Unless - did you purchase the Flash drive directly from Fixstars? They do have a bootable 6.2 Flash drive you can buy. Other Flashdrive methods to install 6.2 are not officially supported - we'll need a reference to the install procedure you used to see what you've done so that we can help you.
Or - did you mean you completed the "Install Other OS" step, by loading otheros.bld from your Flashdrive? If so, you still haven't installed Linux - see below.
I really need some clarification on what you did here - I can't precisely figure it out from your statement.
2. Not found. Generally, this results from just putting an ISO on your disc, instead of creating a disc from the ISO. Which did you do? (And, remember, the ISO is only used to create a DVD, not a Flash drive.) Did you burn a 6.2 DVD? Did you verify your ISO download with SHA1SUM?
3. Uninstall. At this point, you haven't installed Linux. If you completed the "Install Other OS" step successfully, what you've done is put the bootloader on your PS3 - nothing more. This bootloader is called otheros.bld. This is not Linux - just the bootloader that lets you start Linux.
4. Back to GameOS. The PS3 bootloader works like this: You either boot GameOS or you boot OtherOS. You have to tell the PS3 to switch the boot. If you're continually booting OtherOS, you can get back to GameOS a number of ways. The two easiest are: a) Typing "game" (without the quotes) at the kboot: prompt, and hitting the Enter key. b) Using the soft power switch to reset your firmware to factory defaults. You do this by holding down the soft power switch on the front of your PS3 until you hear a second beep. Generally, this second beep occurs about 5 seconds after the first power-on beep. At this point, your PS3 will revert to factory defaults, including video output and GameOS load.
Cheers,
Paul
