Well, I'm not feeling too faint-hearted these days : ) so I'd certainly be interested in any info or links you'd care to pass along. I assume that you need to install 4.0 and then upgrade to 4.1? I also assume there's a ton of dependency hell? And how do you get yum to jump entire versions of YDL (i.e. from 4.0 to 4.0.1)? I also wonder if using something like Synaptic (a tool from Debian which you can install on YDL) would make this easier. I've certainly found Synaptic a good addition to yum and use it all the time. I hate to say this once again, but the latest release of Debian (3.1r3) will *still* run on Old World just fine (but probably rather slowly). I haven't tried it yet on PPC, though, but I do use Debian on my x86 machine at work. The documentation is nearly the same for x86 and PPC; the main difference is the installation of a PPC bootloader, e.g. BootX. Just make sure you download and print out the install manual, and do yourself a favor and get the "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Bible" at a bookstore. -PRH _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
