Jon, you can remove yourself at anytime.

Note: Everytime you receive something from this mailing list you notice
those last three lines which include something that starts with:

Unsuscribe, which should of course be Unsubscribe

Just follow that link.  If it's not highlighted then merely copy it
starting from http to however it ends - and place it into the URL of
whatever browser you use.  Follow the directions there on that page.

There's a big difference as to how Fixstars has managed this mailing
list versus how it was managed in the past.  Unfortunate, but true.
In brief, that difference means that those who participate on this list
are apparently left to ourselves to abide by the posted
directions/guidelines - or not.


I cannot speak for Fixstars, however I've not observed any Fixstars
employee or certainly no upper management participate as actively in
these lists as those who worked for Terra Soft Solutions did.  That is
quite a while ago!

The upshot is, you registered onto the list; you've therefore have to
remove yourself.

Good Luck!!

Hi Stephanie,
 Start with redirecting where yum looks for repositories, meaning sites
where software which yum recognizes as available for download for YDL.
Getting the right software installed will get your network up and
running faster.

Here's the link: http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19t=3017
 I messed up my install of YDL such that it's fine for programming, but
not much else unfortunately.  However, there exists another link which
could be helpful to you which addresses wicd.  See here:
http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19t=7236p=37327

By the way, remember to extract the Airport Extreme (AE) firmware from
OS X!  Although yum can help you acquire the tools to do the extraction
of AE firmware you also need to check to see if you have AE installed on
your laptop at all.  Remember Airport Extreme is not the same as the
standard Airport card Apple installed in that era.  So if AE isn't
present, the whole effort is useless.  You might be better off looking
for a wireless card to fit into the PCMCIA slot.  See more here:
http://www.ydl.net/support/solutions/ydl_general/pcmcia-nic.shtml

Of course, if you do have AE proceed with the instructions here:
http://www.ydl.net/support/solutions/ydl_6.x/airport-extreme.shtml

 Good Luck, Derick.

 I am a new Yellow Dog Linux user, and am having a hard time getting my
 computer to recognize my wireless network.  I went to applications -
 internet - wicd network manager, but it will not recognize our
 wireless network, or any network in our neighborhood, for that
 matter.  But the internet does work connected through our ethernet
 cable. 

 I have a very old ibook and tried one of the troubleshooting hints to
 install firmware, but the command
 yum groupinstall Development Tools 
 was rejected as an error.

 Any tips?  I'm feeling very frustrated!
