Hi, before I try the installation I wanted to clarify a couple of points
1) if I use the new petitboot AND pass the extra parameters, is there a chance to get the
graphical
installer?
No, I don't think so, it never worked for me.
It may be possible to get anaconda to run in graphical mode
on the retail PS3 if you use a custom kernel and/or a custom
initrd. I will try these as time permits. This week is a
short one due the the Thanksgiving Holidays in the USA.
2) the options video=720p ps3fb=4M are going to be good even after
the installation?
You can use them, but I found they are not necessary to boot
or use the kernel Fedora currently installs.
