The only way to completely remove YDL is to reformat your PS3's hard drive. Note that this will also wipe all installed games and game saves from the drive also. If you want to keep these you'll need to copy them to some form of removable media (smart card, USB memory stick, etc.) before reformatting and then restore them afterwards. That said, are you sure that you want to remove YDL? Or do you just want it to always boot into the game OS instead of YDL? It's not obvious how to get back into the game OS when booted into YDL but an easier way is to just shutdown the PS3 (hold your finger on the power button until it beeps, then remove your finger and then wait for the red light (might take a few minutes from YDL)) and then reboot keeping your finger on the power button until it beeps again. This will reset the PS3 settings to factory defaults such that it will again by default boot into the game OS. At this point you can ether reformat the hard drive so that the PS3 uses the entire drive again or change the default OS so the PS3 will boot back into YDL. -- Enjoy, George Warner, Schizophrenic Optimization Scientist Apple Developer Technical Support (DTS) _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
