Installing from the hard disk is straightforward and much faster than doing
it over FTP.
I've never had a YellowDog CD, so I'm assuming here that you can access all
its contents via the Mac OS. (If you can't access those files on the CD,
you can always download them via FTP.) Somewhere on the CD, there's a
folder called YellowDog which contains the folders base, RPMS, and
instimage. Just drag the YellowDog folder to the top level of an HFS
partition.
You just need to tell the installer which partition the files are on, e.g.
/dev/sda5. There's no need to specify a path.
