You don't mention which version of YellowDog you have, but you cannot do
a standard install of YDL on a NuBus Mac. There's a group that is
working on getting Linux of NuBus Power Macs that you should check out
at
<http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net>
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you can install any
2.x version of YDL on a hard drive smaller than 1GB. Even w/ a 1.2.x
version you may not have room for X and/or development tools (the tools
will be necessary, believe me).
Cheers.
Pete

Subject: Boot Problem
Hi there. I have a PowerMac 6100/60 with 72 MB of RAM, an 800 MB hard
drive, and an Apple AudioVision 14 monitor. I have tried to get Linux to
boot using both BootX and miBoot. With BootX, I get a message at startup
which says that the BootX extension could not load, and then there is a
restart button. With miBoot, I reboot the machine, the MacOS "smiley"
face comes up, and then the penguin logo on top of a Mac comes up, but
then the screen goes to a bunch of gray lines and nothingness and stays
that way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
