Hi John: Many, if not all of the questions you've asked can be addressed by looking here: http://us.fixstars.com/support/solutions/ydl_6.x/
Although I'm a longtime user of YDL, I don't currently own or use a PS3. However you could also find useful information and guidance from the YDL Community Board which is available here: http://yellowdog-board.com/ Becoming a member of the YDL Board is free as well as a different way to gather information fairly quickly. I've addressed the nature and purpose of root and user mode here: http://yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6006&p=31264#p31264/ All the best...
