What kinda PS3 do you have? Does it fall between CECHA-CECHG (older fat PS3, has NAND) or CECHH+ (newer fat or slim, has NOR). There's a sticker on your console, read what it says.

slim 320gb.

Ik have fat CECHH-04 (only 40GB) So i used this guide to install on internal HD.

But what do i have to do here?

Partition the PS3 Drive
1. parted /dev/ps3dd
2. mklabel gpt
3. mkpart primary 0 2GB
4. print
5. mkpart primary 2GB (the rest of the hard drive here.)

I did all that, and at point 5 i did mkpart primary 2GB 4GB

Do i have a 2GB partition to install linux then?

And then what? I folowed the next link: PS3:Linux - Wikibrew

But that makes no sense to me at all. I want to install a linux version that i can use as media player and install xbmc on (just for fun)

But i have no idea if i dit the pervious stept the right way and how i need to continue from there...

And what is vflash...

Follow the site instructions. If that's too hard just wait a bit longer.

When you do no 5 mkpart primary 2GB is your swap space and the rest of your drive is the size of the rest of the partition space (I used the 22gb pup) so i use 22GB (i cant remember the exact number) but
when you use the print command there should be 22GB number or something use that number

I don't know where you got a 6gb partition from

Just follow this tut http://7track.org/~glevand/public/IN...OTHEROS_ON_HDD and you shouldn't be far wrong I wasn't
