Hi Nancy and/or others,
I've downloaded YDL 4.0 to my G3 400 Powerbook (Pismo). I do have it
partitioned with OS X (10.3.9) in the other. I'm not sure if I've done
that correctly. Also, I'd like to run YDL on an external firewire drive
I have. I understand this is the only Linux flavor that will do that,
but I haven't been successful. I would be grateful for help with this.

Hi John,
I installed YDL 4.0 on my iMac but realizing its only a 6 gig
hardrive, I felt it best to initialize the hard drve and not hope for
a partition. The personal edition of YDL 4.0 amounts to neary 4 gigs
of space. I'm using 256k memory and I'm pretty sure the specs read
that using the Linux only is best.
I don't miss anything and my machine runs great with just the Linux
installed. the advantage I've gained is that Open Office serves as the
same language for both my iBook which runs 10.2.8 and my 1999 iMac
that's running YDL 4.0. I can burn discs from the iBook and they read
on both machines.
Open Office is a much better word processing program that Apple
works, you won't miss anything. But that is entirely up to you.
Good luck,
Nancy

I have followed the YDL 4.1 installation guide and completed the
installation on a blue-and-white G3 machine

The list of partitions follows :-
Partition # Size MB Mount point
=========== ======= ===========
1 <1 Apple Disk map
2 1 Apple bootstrap
3 1024 Swap
4 7168 /
However, upon the first boot, it failed to boot to Linux and showed a
Monitor prompt "?"/Mac OS. After 10 - 15 seconds, the screen ran a
list
of errors.
What went wrong? I hope someone could point me reference how to make
it
boot to Linux.
Thanks a lot.
