Hi, I have done all the hash checksums and all the checksums are correct. > Keith, did you remember to partition your internal drive so that it is > formatted for Linux?
Well I can't partition it for ext2/3/4 unless I can boot up the DVD. On a Intel machine I could use partition magic, but what do I use for a PPC running Mac OS X? Do I have to only have a linux partition on the PPC or can OS X & YDL co-exists? This is my 1st attempt to install on PPC after many Intel installs of Linux so a *Good* web page would be appreciated.
