Hi Rob,<div><br></div><div>After installing Ubuntu by default you will get =
the kboot bootloader.From here if you want to boot the game os, its just a =
mater of typing &quot;game&quot; or a command similar to that, the kboot bo=
otloader screen documents it and that boots you into the PS3 and makes that=
 default until you change it in the PS3 operating system.Also just hitting =
return or waiting will boot into ubuntu.</div>
<div><br></div><div>From inside ubunutu using the terminal the command &quo=
t;sudo boot-game-os&quot; will set PS3 operating system to the default aswe=

<br>
Well I&#39;ve decided to get the kids an 80GB PS3 for Christmas. =A0Now bei=
ng<br>
the geeky type I am hoping to install Ubuntu on the PS3 as well. =A0I&#39;v=
e<br>
been reading some installation guides to prepare myself for the install<br>
but there is one thing I&#39;m not sure about...<br>
<br>
Now I know the PS3 needs to have kboot installed (I&#39;m guessing this is<=
br>
the PS3 Linux bootloader?), however I was wondering, after installing<br>
Linux, does it make kboot the default every time the PS3 is started up?<br>
<br>
The reason I ask is I don&#39;t want the PS3 to boot into Linux by default,=
<br>
I&#39;d rather it boot into the XMB by default and then boot into the<br>
OtherOS when I choose so (I&#39;m thinking it will mean I don&#39;t always =
have<br>
to have a keyboard plugged in and the kids won&#39;t need to bug me<br>
everytime they want to use the PS3).<br>
<br>
Can anyone confirm if it is possible to still set the PS3 XMB (if I<br>
understand correctly it&#39;s called GameOS?) as the default when the PS3 i=
s<br>
turned on?<br>
<br>
Ta,<br>
