I've got a command-line only copy of Yellow Dog running on my iBook2004.
I understand that you've got to hold C when booting to boot from the CD, but the Woody CD wont work, so should I go ahead and download all of the main-dist ISOs, or will they not boot either? Tom If I were you I'd download the following ISO and burn to disk using Disk Utility or Toast or similar: http://penguinppc.org/~eb/files/boot-new-powermac-xfs.iso You will definitely be able to boot from the CD from there.
