@MikeB

I think you missed the point...YDL runs on more than the PS3. Yes, 'fixed hardware' for an OS *only* targetting that single platform is good for stability, once a stable code base is acheived (which it still may or may not be yet), and gives some longevity without major maintenance, again, once basic hardware specific drivers are worked out. However, it has very little do to with the installer, which is where you gripes were targetted at, while you used the phrase 'even on the PS3,' which sounded like somehow an installer or 'anything Linux' should somehow just 'run better on the PS3,' which isn't the case.

No arguments on your nits you just mentioned, and yes, I think at least for basic install, there should be a PS3 controller option to drive it, as well as a default desktop that is configured with that control mechanism at least as a possibility. I don't think YDL is a huge company though, either...maybe 6.2 will be better/more seamless.

What's the total install size on disk, btw?

And, no comment on writing up a howto - no interest, then?
