Yeah, I've just been reading all the similar messages from earlier this
month.
It seems to me that there is a lot of descrepancy between the difference
YDL 2.1 ISO images on the different mirrors. I first tried the one from
YDL's ftp server, which was only 500 megs or so. I mounted it and it
seems to be fine, but it didn't work with MacOS 10.1 after burning. The
only ISO image that seems to have worked is the one from
ftp.ibiblio.org. I'm downloading it now.
I'll let you guys now if this one works.
Cheers
James
