Hi all, Thanks for all the advice on flavors. For the time being, I've decided to try Yellow Dog to get my feet wet. I may play around with a few others later, but considering the number of people on the list who use YDL, I figure I'm better off using it for now.
Anyway, after taking out some pesky 3rd party cards and troubleshooting toast for the ISO burning, I actually got the YDL installers burned and was able to restart with the TDL 3.0.1 (1) CD. Once I got the boot CD to load properly, the beginning was cake: Hardware checked ok. I chose the graphical install. etc. Then I got to the point it was ready to install and was asked what means I was using for the installation (CD,TCP/IP,FTP,&c). I chose local CD. I got an error message saying that the local CD could not be found. But isn't it going to be the same CD that I'm reading from to set up the installation? Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be/how to fix it? Also. Once I had begun the installation process, I was unable to quit out and restart from the installer program (I just kept going back and forth through the prompts looking for a way out). Couldn't proceed (no CD recognition), couldn't get out. I ended up manually rebooting. Did I miss another way, or was that my only option? (I'm using an 867 mHz G4 [quicksilver]. The drive in question is the Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-103.) Thanks, Jon -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
