Hello and thank you. I "was" trying to install YDL on a G4 iBook. YDL or any Linux is not installed on this machine. I apologize but i think the communication and understanding that the person seeking to install YDL has any existing Linux experience, is a joke beyond my means. You could ask Julie Childs for some French Toast. Thank you for your assistance.
