Brock,
Where are you putting the 'YellowDog' directory?
When the installer asks you for the path to the YellowDog install tree,
its going to append '/YellowDog/RPMS/' to the path that you provide it.
So, if you have YellowDog/ right inside your hard disk, all you need to
put into the field when it asks you is: '/'
Hope this helps,
Dan
