If memory serves me correctly, YDL 3.0 still used apt-get, yum was
developed a few months later. Which means you can probably still get
yum to run on 3.0 with a bit of work.
You got this far so you are up to it.
Congratulations, Deacon!

I have it up and running! Yum appears not to be working on 3.0, so
this is another hurdle, but having it all installed and working is
great. Again, thank you for all the help!

Dear Derick,
Actually one of your responses to another person lead me to read
the 2.2 directions rather than just the 3.0 and 4.0 directions I had
read and it was more clear about something that helped me to get the
install working! Right now the 3400c is on the second disk of the
install. So far, so good! I will let you know if all went to plan and
if I have any other questions. Again thanks for the help and the
philosophy lesson. I would not be this far without your valuable
expertise! :-)
In Christ,
Deacon Nikolai

Hi Deacon Nikolai:
We are all learners, here. Interesting that there is a similar
statement regarding the purpose of life stated in as ancient a work
as the Bhagavadgita which is only one text of the Mahabharata. A
similar phrase is found in the Epics of Gilgamesh and I'm sure that
sentence has been repeated throughout the human experience. But
that is enough philosophy for today!
Since you are running YDL 4.01 elsewhere you may have a ready tool
which you can use, which many others do not. I know I didn't. Take
your YDL 3.0.1 disks and have them examined under YDL 4.0.1! This
is how you do it.
When you are on the Mac with YDL 4.0.1, first make sure the Mac is
shutdown. Then boot it up, Press the c key. This will cause the
Mac to switch to YDL 4.0.1. Keep pressing the c key. A black
screen appears, let go and clear that line of c's by deleting.
Now type:
install mediacheck
Wait till it this program begins. Then click to get to the test
where mediacheck will check any CD you place into your CD drive.
Place those YDL 3.0.1 CD disks there, it will test them for
everything. There is a caveat here though; I'm not sure if
mediacheck will only examine those disks within it's version. In
other words, the program may be intelligent enough to distinguish
between 3.0.1 and 4.0 or 4.0.1 if that is the case then it may
inspect only 4.0 or 4.0.1 CDs considering all others failures.
In which case we try a different approach, more techie. See this
link and try it out:
http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/manualtest.html
One more thing, accessing Sharp (www.sharplabs.com) is different
from accessing the YDL FAQ pages which reside on a specific sharp
server set aside for that purpose. If it cannot be accessed via the
link provided then it is under repair or being moved to another
server or Sharp has changed it's mind regarding the YDL FAQ pages.
You can try again at another time. Meanwhile, I hope that this is
helpful.
Best wishes...

Dear Derick,
I apologize for not being clearer.
I originally meant to install 4.0.1 on my 3400c but thanks to you I
realized this was not possible. After finally burning the CDs
correctly, I installed 4.0.1 on my iBook running Mac OSX 10.4.2.
This was very simple for me and has been running like a dream.
Daily I seem to keep learning more from both trial and error
and your emails. What I am having trouble with now is my 3400c. I
have a minimal install of Mac OS 8.5 on it. I got BootX working
finally and am able to get it to start booting from the 3.0.1 CD to
install. However I am getting errors when trying this. It does not
always stop at the same point, but I have gotten various messages
before it stopped including most often "I can't recover from this"
and "Warning unable to open an initial console" and "Will reboot in
180 seconds".
I have been trying to access the site you mention on my iBook,
but keep getting this error when trying: Safari can’t open the page
“http://www.sharplabs.com:8668/space/start” because it could not
connect to the server “www.sharplabs.com”. yet I can got to
www.sharplabs.com just fine!
I will try going to in in Firefox after I get it from Yum
thanks to your help! Thank you again Derick!
In Christ,
Deacon Nikolai
