I had exactly the same problem with a YDL install on a Powerbook G3. The
problem was too much memory (320 MB of RAM). I pulled the extra 256MB
expansion memory at YDL's request and the install worked perfectly. After the
install I put the memory back in. Another hint. You must allocate at least as
much space in the swap partition as you have RAM, and preferably 2-3X more. If
not, when YDL crashes, it overwrites both the root directory and the boot
partition. A real pain.
