If the directory is on the root level of the drive, when it asks for the
location just put in /
Worked for me.
It's not looking for the location of the files, it's looking for the
location of the directory that has the files.
Also it says in the docs what to name the directory, I don't recall offhand.
Hope that helps...

Subject: Hard Drive install question
So, I could use a little advice. I am trying to install YD onto a G3
Powerbook 266. I had the CDs, but they were stolen, so I am trying to
reinstall from the harddrive. I am trying to install onto a removable bay
harddrive (I had it up and running before, but I need to reinstall). I
read the FAQ and saw that I could just download the YellowDog/base and
YellowDog/RPMS folders and stick them on the harddrive. So, I made a
folder called YellowDog and stuck the two folders inside. I placed this on
my HFS partition of the removable harddrive. I get to the stage where I
have to pick how I want to install and the partition shows up. I select it
and I get told that the YellowDog install tree can't be found on the
partition. I've tried changing the name of the folder they are in to
Yellow Dog and even RedHat. I tried leaving the two folders on the top
level. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
