Hello, all! I am attempting to install Yellow Dog Linux (versions 3.0.1 and 4.0.1 burned and tried, 2.3 burned but not yet tried, waiting for CDs onto which to burn 4.1) onto an Old World Mac (Power Macintosh 7500 with 1 GB RAM and a 50 GB HD (10 GB Mac OS 8.6 and 40 GB unformatted)) and I am having trouble.
The 4.0.1 disk won't load Anaconda (the YDL installer engine) and crashes. The 3.0.1 disk will load Anaconda, but won't read the 3.0.1 disk for data and keeps waiting for readable CD; the 3.0.1-loaded Anaconda will read the 4.0.1 disk a little bit, but then crashes. Is there anybody on the list who has experience using BootX and mayhap even experience installing YDL on a machine this old? I am contacting TerraSoft about purchasing installation support, but the Mac is so old that I have little hope for this. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Sincerely, -- Jeffrey Rolland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
