Ummm, this kinda makes no sense to me, Steve. If you bought a Mac for
your home network, you should be the owner and have Admin permissions.
Period.
If it was my Mac, I would backup and save what I considered important,
then reinitialize the hard drive (which is how big??). If you don't plan
on being in MacOS much, a minimal install should fit on a 200MB HFS
partition, which leaves you the most space for your YDL install.
See the YDL site for specific how-to-install info.
Cheers.
Pete

Subject: Installation for a Mac G3/Beige with LinuxPPC already loaded
All,
I have a Beige G3 that has MacOS 7.x and LinuxPPC2000 (with yaboot
loader I
think??) I do not have Administrator permissions for the OS (although I
bought it
with Mac OS installed - long story). The MacOS side I cannot get to
connect to
the rest of my home network ( No Admin permissions).
Can anyone come up with a method in which I can load from CD (or the
net) YDL
2.1 over the LinuxPPC install??
Steve...
