You might want to check out youtube.com and check out some videos people have made about putting ydl on their ps3 but.... I installed ydl on my ps3 using the other os option from the ps3 xmb menu. When you have installed your ydl linux environment, just restart your ps3 wait till the linux kboot comes up and type in boot-game-os and then the ps3 xmb menu will appear... so yes ydl boots up seperately... As for your other questions, I still haven't gotten VLC player installed because one of the links is not working for me for some reason and I am new to linux myself.... One suggestion... create an introduction in the introduction forum so we all know your background, interests, etc...
