I've gotten weird errors trying to install it onto my 7500 with g3
upgrade, but I got it to work under the text installer. It crashed (seg
fault) at the end of the installation and before I could really set my
screen resolution, (I had to hack around for a while as result) but I
just booted into Linux and made the changes. Kind of a pain in the ass.
On the whole ydl 2.0 has the most bug-packed installer i've ever seen,
giving me numerous seg faults in different places (Check your damn
pointers, boys!).
Keep plugging away. The text based installer seems to be a lot more
stable.
Cheers,
John Norair
