Jim--

Well if it is on the site, it isn't anywhere where a casual buyer
would find it. Look at this:

<http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/faq_hardware.shtml>

(I didn't think to click on the picture. Silly me.)

Anyway, my purpose is not to slam Terrasoft, but to raise the
question what can I do now?

Here are my specifics:

733 AGP G4 with 768M RAM

Two disks:

ATA 62G Maxstor with 3 HSF+ partitions: Mac OS 9.1, Mac OS X 10.03,
Blank for YDL
Ultrawide SCSI 72G Quantum on an Adaptec 39160, one partition for
data and workspace

Two monitors:

Both Electron22Blue 1920 x 1440

One on AGP nVidea geForceMX 2
Other on PCI, a Radeon 32M

Kensington Trackball

I'm supposed to be able to use the yaboot, non-graphical installer.
But what I get is the following:

Welcome to taboot version 1.1.1
