Hi,
Fedora 12 was released this week. Unfortunately, due to an increase in memory usage of anaconda the Fedora installer program some special procedures are needed to install it on the PS3.
I made a new howto note 'PS3 Fedora install HOW-TO' that describes how to install Fedora on your PS3. It make take some time to reach the mirrors though:

Please report any additional steps needed or problems faced when installing to your system.
Hi, before I try the installation I wanted to clarify a couple of points
- 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.
- 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.
