boot loader is installed, the PlayStation 3 should be able to boot from the Fedora install
media. Type <command>linux64 xdriver=fbdev</command> at the boot prompt, which
will work around <ulink

network installation works best with NFS, since that takes less memory than FTP or HTTP
methods. Using the <command>text</command> option also reduces the amount of
memory taken by the installer. For more information on Fedora and the PlayStation3 or
