Subject: Re: Install of YDL 2.1 on Power Center Pro nothing but frustration
From: Gavin Hemphill (hemphill@drea.dnd.ca)

Your problem is the way you have the disk partitioned. Yellowdog uses
space (quite a large amount of space) in the /tmp directory during the
install. You might try doing the install with just a single large root
partition and a swap partition. I think you'll find it works then.
