Hey, guys I just wanted to ask a quick question. Originally I had YDL on my PS3 with 50GB for YDL and 10GB for the game OS, I quickly found out that was not the best way to go, plus without the wifi ability, it really hindered what I could do, so I re-formatted my HD. Anyhow, it seems that has been corrected, and so I want to re-install YDL. I noticed on the YDL.net emhanced site there is an ISO from April 30 or May 1st, I don't remember exactly. Is this the one I should use to re-install. Do I still need to download this new kernel for wifi or is it already built-in to this update. Any help would be appreciated.
