I know that dual processors also are not supported -- don't remember the
exact reference, but I have a dual-533, as well.

Hello,

My configuration:

G4 Dual-533 128MB RAM
Radeon 32MB AGP card
40GB master HDD with MacOS 9.1 & Mac OS X
12GB slave HDD reserved for YDL 2.0
CD-RW drive

I just bought the YDL-2.0 distribution and tried to
boot the install cd. It doesn't work, because it
stop right after the 'Booting...' message

I've read the mail archive and found that the Radeon
card is not supported at this point and that the
option 'install-novideo' should work with this
configuration. Well.. it does not. It stop at the
exact same point.

My configuration is quite simple. Has anyone succeeded
in installing the text-only version of YDL on such a
configuration?

Jeffrey
