Dear Terrance:
I can explain some features or aspects of YDL itself as I've
used it for many years. I cannot address however PS3 or other machine
specific questions unless the question directly involves the computer
I run YDL on which happens to be a 1.67 MHz Powerbook G4.
Now as regards checking what already installed the best tool to use
is called yum which is best invoked either as su (superuser) or root.
Here is what happens when I ask yum to determine what is installed
and what is available. Here is the run:
[root at arakus aguila]# yum info "blue*"
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

[root at arakus aguila]#
Explanation: If you look in what yum's output and look for Repo
you'll notice which applications are installed. Also notice that in
reporting other packages yum merely reports their location, like
"extras". This doesn't mean that it is on your system but rather the
package is available on a remote (external to you) server which yum
is looking at.
Explanation: The *, is a wildcard character which tells yum to find
and discover any combination of characters, numbers or symbol
following the term blue. You can do this with anything you are
looking for.
Yum advantage: If you decide something in the list which yum provides
needs to be installed, just do:
#yum install "blue*util*"
or whatever interests you. Yum will install it and whatever
dependent programs which support that package's operation.
As far as learning what hidd does do:
[aguila at arakus ~]$ man hidd
The man command within your user account takes you to your embedded
manual explaining every command within YDL. You can also do:
$info hidd
for an extended explanation. Should you go on the net you will see
many sites merely repeat what the manual already has told you. To
invoke nearly any command within YDL or any other Linux use ./command
name. There are some exceptions, but not many.
Good Luck...
