Not sure, but a couple of observations (those in the know, please
correct me if I'm wrong!):
- 16MB ram???? I believe you need at least 32MB. ---->Hey YDL folks!!!
Maybe I'm blind, but I cannot find a minimum system requirements section
on the web site and/or install guide.
- speaking of the install guide
<http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/products/guide_to_install.shtml>, did you
read that?
- Unless you really need a lot from MacOS, I'd create a smaller HFS
partition for a minimum MacOS install. 1GB for Linux is going to be
barely enough, especially if you want X and/or development stuff (and
almost everyone ends up needing the development stuff, lol). See this
page <http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/products/install.shtml> for hard
drive size requirements.
- for answers, you should search the list archives first. Go here
<http://lists.yellowdoglinux.com/>, and check the bottom of the page.

Subject: YDl on 6400/180?
Hello everyone, I am new to linux and have a question. Sorry if this
has
already been covered but I am not real sure where to find answers yet.
I
have a Performa 6400/180 and am trying to get YDL 2.0 installed. I
downloaded the ISO off the web. I have setup the partitions and
installed
MacOS 7.5.5 and installed BootX. After I restart and select Linux to
boot I
get an error that says I have an "Uniplemented Trap" then I must
restart.
Some info on my machine...It has 16mb of ram, 1.4 gb drive (400mb mac
and
1gb linux partitions) and is bone stock.
Again sorry if this has already been asked but I am almost ready to stop
trying. :-(
