ethernet

[dustin letwin]

I do have a PC in the same room as the PS3 and it is connected with a usb 
wifi card much like the one that you linked to on amazon, I will see if it 
is possible to use that.
Now I think I am going to just do the minimum YDL install on the PS3 but now 
I need to know if I can undo the changes I make to the system, like the hard 
drive partition and just the whole install. Like if I set a restore point on 
my PS3, can I restore back to before I installed everything?
I ask because I plan on doing the minimum install then if all works well, I 
will delete everything, or restore the system if possible so I can start 
from scratch and do the full install.
I just don't want to be stuck with an extra partition or not be able to get 
my PS3 back to normal to start again.
