Hi Conrad, thanks for responding!
I copied the YellowDog folder into the only Mac partition on my hard disk.
I then used BootX to bring up the linux installer, as per the YellowDog
instructions. All goes well, and I answer Hard Disk for the media.
After it asks what type of media, it asks: "What partition and directory on
that partition hold the Yellowdog/RPMS and YellowDog/base directories?
It has all of the non swap partitions listed. I select /dev/sda6, which is
the hfs Mac partition. For the "Directory holding Yellow Dog:", I leave the
"/" which is already there.
It then says: Loading second stage RAM Disk
Then the following:
bunzip2: error in loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.0:cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory (this is repeated three times)
install exited abnormally
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done
unmounting filesystems...
/tmp/image
/proc
you may safely reboot your system
What am I doing wrong?
