I have never used YDL before, but am proficient in openSuSE, K/X/Ice/Ubuntu, Puppy, and general Linux workings. Also, what are the differences in the versions of YDL that might be useful information, like compatability with various hardware or any dramatic speed differences?

edit: well that didnt seem to work; which do i download? http://ydl.oregonstate.edu/releases/yellowdog-6.0/os/images/ and then one, im guessing i downloaded the boot.iso, but im not sure if i can burn it, ive been having problems with the openSuSE image burn...

Oh, and nice double-signature there
Edit: im downloading all of these, hopefully this will be right
zopiac wrote:Is there a way to install the YDL PPC 5.x onto a hard drive from within a OS on another computer? for instance, i have no idea how i will get the image to the CD; i have 3 CD writers (all old, so perhaps broken) and plenty of CD-RWs (brand new), but it won't write any image to the disks! I only have access to Ubuntu at this time, on a 64bit computer running either a 32bit or 64bit version of ubuntu. can i emulate the installation onto the/a hard drive?

oh well, im having my friend burn them with his iMac G5, that should be able to burn them
also, is there any specific name i have to burn the disks to? like, i tried to burn it on my linux and it said "Cd Name: PBOOT." is the CD going to be looking for the next CD with a specific name on it? my friend who will be burning it will be using XP on his iMac, and when i tried to burn it with XP it just said "Cd Name: Nov 9 2008." This might be a trivial thing to ask, but hey, who knows?
