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.
I've just installed and everything went as you described.
Only problem is with partitioning the hard disk. I used to have 2 logical volumes for / and /home, and the installation has overwritten everything with a single volume for /
It is not too bad since I did have nothing to save, but in the future when I reinstall I'd like to save /home.
During the installation at some point (around the disk partitioning) I had a choice similar to
- use all disk - replace linux system - use free space
I chose the 2nd. Was it a bad choice?
Is there a chance to recreate the partitions and reinstall?
thanks
