Yeah it does, however I plugged my USB dongle for my wireless KB & Mouse in and they worked no problems.. might just be some that dont work
I guess I'll have to go out & buy a USB keyboard & mouse then. BTW, I went back & edited my previous post. Could you address my other questions too please? Thanks!
Edit: I actually have an older keyboard & mouse. I'll just have to go get me one of these ps/2 to USB adapters so I can connect them to my PS3 USB port. I'm only gonna need them for installing Linux anyhow.

This release is great. It will save everyone a lot of frustation and trouble and likely prevent many bricks from happening.

It looks like it's the metldrexploit plus the already compiled program (metldrpwn.ko). It was originally released as source code. Since it is a kernel module (think of it as code added to the operating system while it is running), it must be compiled against the specific version of the kernel that it will run on. That one is compatible with Red Ribbon 5 apparently. I guess they are providing it for people who don't want to bother installing everything needed to compile it themselves.

If your console is qa'ed and using rebug/dex, can use you update from hdd to go both ways?

Love the region change & as acab said, psuedo dualboot.
You provide only the program but not the dog? Lousy ps3 developers, in the XBOX scene they loan you a dog.(j/k)
NOTICE: All my tools should beep. If you don't get beep during one of the steps below
then stop doing anything and contact me. I will help.
OtherOS++ support: irc.gitbrew.org (ssl) #otheros
1. Install my latest CFW (I recommend using the OTHEROS-22GB.PUP)
2. When installation is finished, reboot in Recovery Mode (not the Backup/Restore in XMB) and choose "Restore PS3 System"
3. Now your GameOS partition should show 22GB less than usual
4. Run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg (for all PS3 models)
5. Reboot (It's important to shut down and turn on your PS3)
6. Store dtbImage.ps3.bin on USB drive, plug it in and run install_otheros.pkg
Try different USB ports if you don't get any beeps.
7. Run boot_otheros.pkg
8. Run reboot.pkg (use the package, not manually reboot!)
9. You should be in petitboot now.
Exit from CUI to shell or switch to another virtual console.
10. Run script create_hdd_region.sh - rem to CHMOD 755
(The path to create_hdd_region.sh /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/create_hdd_region.sh)
"sda1" could be "sda2" or "sdb1"/"sdb2" depending on the hdd/stick number-of-partitions
11. Reboot and boot petitboot (from GameOs start "Reboot" app)
12. Then boot red-ribbon-livecd (from the usb – see below) - it should appear in petitboot
3) Extract the ISO to a USB stick (with MagicISO, PowerISO, WinRAR, etc.)
4) Boot your PS3 into petitboot, plug your Linux USB stick in and choose the option to install with OtherOS++ (was the top option for me). Use default user/password (ps3/ps3)
5) Reboot to GameOS, Install and boot mmCM (With a USB Stick plugged in)
Update online via "debug mode" – (holding L2+R2 during startup) -> Update to latest online version (still 4.4.3)
6) Press [SELECT] + [START] to go to mmOS, press [CIRCLE] on ANY file and “Open in Hex”
7) Press [SELECT] to switch to LV2 memory
Then press [START] to dump
It will ask if you want to dump LV2, then LV1 just press [NO]
Third question is about the flash, press [YES]
You'll find the dump in /dev_usb000
It will look similar to 20120717-185431-FLASH-NOR-FW3.55.NORBIN
8) Copy the dump to your PC and put it in a folder with “norunpack” (have norunpack at root of C:/ drive for ease of use), rename your dump to 355CEX.NORBIN for ease of use. http://www.mediafire.com/?9eo21wytc76c5af - norunpack
9) Open a command prompt and type “cd C:\norunpack” (without quotes)
Then type “norunpack 355CEX.NORBIN extracted” (without quotes)
10) Once completed, go into your newly created “extracted” folder and then into the “asecure_loader” folder to grab your dumped metldr
12) Place your “metldr” file in the metldrpwn folder and copy to a USB stick
13) Boot up Linux on your PS3, plug your USB stick in
14) Copy the “metldrpwn” folder to your “Home” folder
15) Open up Terminal and type “cd metldrpwn” (without quotes)
16) Type “sudo ./run.sh” (without quotes) If it fails, type “sudo chmod +x ./run.sh” (without quotes) Then re-type “sudo ./run.sh” (without quotes)
17) Copy your newly created “dump_eid0.bin” file to your USB and plug it back into your PC
18) Copy the “dump_eid0.bin” & your “355CEX.NORBIN” into the c2d.exe folder (copy C2D.exe folder to root of C drive for ease of use)
19) Open your “dump_eid0.bin” in a hexeditor of you choosing (I used HXD) and extract your keys - keys are either at start of the file (0x00 - 0x2f) or somewhere else. You can find the right location by searching the dump. You can search for bytes 0x00-0x10 and you may find the proper erk/iv at 0xc0*** location
20) Highlight and copy your keys (3 lines) and create a new file in your hex program, paste your keys in and save it as “keys.BIN”
21) Open a command prompt and type “cd C:\c2d” (without quotes) Then type "c2d.exe keys.BIN 355CEX.NORBIN 355DEX.EID0.NORBIN" (without quotes)
22) Copy your 355DEX.EID0.NORBIN & your renamed 355CEX.EID0.NORBIN to your PS3 (FTP in mmCM or on a USB stick) mmCM will not flash unless the file ends with .EID0.NORBIN
23) Open mmOS ([SELECT] + [START]), browse to your 355DEX.EID0.NORBIN and double click on it.
24) Reboot your console and install 3.55 DEX FW
25) To switch back to retail, simply double click on your 355CEX.EID0.NORBIN, reboot and reinstall a 3.55 CFW of your preference

Thanks for the tut but this is still wayyyyyyyyyyy too much for me! I can follow directions but the technical stuff is hard to understand. I surely hope there comes another way to get this done that's easier like in a pkg file or something else. Thanks!

To answer your other question.. no its still external.
This really isn't that hard, installing Linux is the hardest part.
Just go step by step and you'll be done in an hr... There's so many steps because I broke it down nice and easy
You won't brick with this method so just take your time
9. You should be in petitboot now.
Exit from CUI to shell or switch to another virtual console.
10. Run script create_hdd_region.sh - rem to CHMOD 755
(The path to create_hdd_region.sh /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/create_hdd_region.sh)
"sda1" could be "sda2" or "sdb1"/"sdb2" depending on the hdd/stick number-of-partitions
Very nice tut and much appreciated but I am sitting here with sweaty palms a little leery of trying this as I am still uncomfortable with understanding exactly these instructions.
#9.) I get the "sda1" stuff and finding which drive an all, but am not familiar with petitboot and perhaps this is why I don't understand. I'm not real familiar with Linux but I know what a virtual console is so maybe you can begin a new virtual console within linux ?? perhaps like a new window of a command prompt so to speak ? forgive me for not knowing the Linux terminology, if so I understand that now.
#10.) Assuming I'm in a "virtual console" at a "command prompt" and the HD was correct this would be typed ? "/tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/create_hdd_region.sh" without the quotes.
Everything else I read through a few times and I am pretty confident with. Thanks again.
EDIT: I went so far as to read Glevand's instructions on this and I'm still a little iffy about what exactly is required of me, please forgive me for asking to specify what it is I do not understand.
These are Glevand instructions:

Reason: to clarify
Think of petitboot as a great big command prompt from windows (bad analogy I know)
But yeah what you wrote at #10 is most likely what you'll type..
Don't sweat though guys.. the part you're worried about IS the hardest part of this guide but there are plenty of Linux nerds here.
Plus its the safest part.. as in just switch off your PS3 and try later if you need to
