    Is there an exploit Geohot used to create his PUP that he hasn't shared with the community? Is it a lack of skills on the parts of Kmeaw, Hermes, Waninkoko, et al? Too time consuming?

    The reason I ask is, Geohot's CFW was just so straightforward to install; download copy the PUP (~5mb), run System Update. With the others it's download OFW PUP (~170MB), download the patcher, patch PUP, copy and update. The latter method isn't so accessible for people who don't really know what they're doing, which is a pain in the ass for me because I have to install CFW on several of my friend's PS3s.

    Geohots was all his own work and no sony code, the others would contain Sony's code.
    Make sure you butter the non reflective side of your CD's / DVD's and Blu-Rays so that when you drop them, they land butter side down thus preventing scratches.
