Ladies and Gentlemen, I am stuck on trying to install YDL6.2 on my PowerMac G4 (the blue deskside type). I have followed the formating instructions by partitioning my disk into two volumes, one (the lower) for YDL, the second for OSX. I have successfully installed OSX and that is now all patched up to 10.4.11. My problem arises when I attempt to boot the YDL DVD. When I press the <alt> key to select what to boot I see two icons, one the harddrive with the blue X in the bottom corner and the second the DVD with the Linux penguin. When I select the DVD and press <return> the screen goes grey and that's as far as I get! I have confirmed the iso is sha1sum correct as per the download sites and have tried to burn three different dvds, one with Windows Nero, one with Easy Burner on Windows and one with Disk Utility on OSX. They all suffer at the same sticking point. I can confirm that the DVD is mountable in OSX and viewable and I can view files on it with Finder. Does anyone have any insight as to what I've done wrong? Thanks In advance!
