I can't tell you what the xconfig issue is, but put ncurses on it and
go back to menuconfig. I can't believe YDL2.0 doesn't have ncurses
somewhere, look on your CDs.
rpmfind is your friend, the latest YDL ncurses is at
<http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/yellowdog/1.0/champion-1.2/ppc/YellowDog/RPMS/ncurses-5.0-9.ppc.html>
but that's clearly for YDL1.2. There's a very modern LinuxPPC ncurses
there (5.2-8). Only thing to beware of is glibc. Is YDL2.0 compiled
with glibc 2.2.x? Does it even matter for ncurses?
