Hi Bo,
I can confirm that the fuji 2.1 ISO on ftp.yellowdoglinux.com was
only 18 MB previously and is only 52 MB now. There are also no 2.1
RPMS on ftp.yellowdoglinux.com. However, working with a friend, we
downloaded the fuji 2.1 ISO from ftp.ibiblio.org which was the full
size (the 2.1 RPMS were also all out there), and verified the md5sum.
My friend burned a CD using toast with disk image format. It is
essential that the ISO has never ever been mounted because this will
munge the file system structure from then on. The safest thing is
to lock the ISO image to prevent it from ever being accidentally
changed in any way.
We then successfully installed YDL 2.1 on a G4 using this CD. So I
can verify the veracity of the full fuji 2.1 ISO image if you have
verfied its md5sum, but I can't say anything about the ability to
successfully burn a CD using cdroast, but it worked fine with Toast.
One other thing to mention is that you need a large enough capacity
blank CD to hold the ISO image (unfortunately I don't recall the exact
capacity required at the moment, but it obviously needs to be large
enough to hold at least 677505024 bytes of data).
-Hope this helps
