Yellow Dog Linux

I'm sure this topic has been posted, and if someone could direct me to that post I would greatly appreciate it.

Yellowdog currently is the "default" boot option... ie., if i restart my G5, it gives me the option to boot into OSX, but if i would walk away while it is rebooting, after a few moments it automatically boots into YDL.

This won't be a problem in the future, as I would like to dedicate the majority of my system's time to linux, but for the time being, I would like it to automatically boot into OSX, with the option to boot to YDL.

Thanks.

A lazy solution is to boot from the Apple Install OS X DVD as though you were going to install something, but do nothing. Then quit. This will reset the open firmware so that you boot into OS X automatically. To boot into YDL, at boot press the following keys at the same time: Command-Option-p-r

Now if your the kind of fellow who is more proactive, then I refer you to this page and call your attention to using the defaultos variable.
