You can't. You can only alot 10GB to the Sony XMB and everything else to Linux or vice versa.

**craig** · 12-03-2006, 07:47 AM

and about your wired you mean usb right ps/2 wont work on the ps3

**Nevada** · 12-03-2006, 11:51 AM

for the record, theres very little difference between ydl and fedora, since they BOTH use fedora core 5.
only difference is that ydl uses Enlightenment D17

**craig** · 12-03-2006, 01:11 PM

Will any usb keyboard do?

**ct-boy** · 12-03-2006, 01:14 PM

i used a logitech cordless mx 3100 and everything went smoothly. the receiver has a usb plug and mini din (ps/2) plug for mouse, but both keyboard and mouse work on FC5 using only the usb plug.

I have a wireless (ex 110) Logitech USB keyboard and mouse and they worked okay for me on YDL 5.0. The usb plug setup is identical to ChuckFeezy's mx 3100.

**cyanide** · 12-03-2006, 07:49 PM

Wine won't run. atleast for now.
