I currently use Debian Wheezy (Debian 7.0) and Debian Sid.  I no longer
use Fedora. Some info on how to install Debian is here:

You may want to try a CD or DVD image from here:

I doubt it.

Thats old.  Use the latest from here:

 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-petitboot/

> Petitboot didn't detect anything from the USB, would I need to add some options like kexec ---??? to /boot/petitboot.conf? Also what are the options I should pass to kexec to boot fedora?  

See my file ps3-debian-install-howto.txt

Good Luck.
