Ok, but I can't even install Yellowdog. When I an installing I get to where
I pick what kind of install I want and then it tells me that "No ethernet
card was found" or something of the sort and then it quits on me. If I
could do a basic install and then add the Ethernet stuff it would be great.
I am also havinga problem with my video. WHne I run the Mac OS pasrt my
video is fine, but when I run the installer it seems to think my monitor can
tae a higher refresh rate then it can and I get tons of garbage on the
screen.
Thanks for the help Iain, =)
