Glen,
You need to hit the www.yellowdoglinux.com web site, and find the link for
installing YDL on the new generation PowerBooks. There is a link to a
website that has a pretty good recipe for getting it to work. I just
installed on a 500MHz PowerBook, so I can tell some of my experiences.
Feel free to contact me off-list for help and/or advice.
