Hi Larry
I think we have the same feature - as per Stefan in his reply to me earlier:
(and indeed the 11.1 install runs A LOT faster than any of the other ones)

If you are doing an install and have a previous linux swap partition,
can't you activate that during the boot? Not sure how the PS3 boots
because I don't own one yet....
Also, I have several systems with only 256MB. Does the PS3 allow all
of the 256MB or does it steal some of it and only allow so much? It
would be really nice if the 256MB of graphics ram was available. The
low ram is probably the biggest drawback for me(since I don't play
games....).
