Hi, sorry to see no one has answered your question yet. Post it again on the yellowdog-general list.
IIRC Your iMac G3/333 will work with YDL 4.0.1 but it requires you to modify the NIC type in /etc/modprobe.conf (see end of e-mail for details). This is a problem that has crept up before so you may want to check the archives for yellowdog-general. PS I checked my inbox and found a fix that was posted for my Beige G3/266 (see the bottom of this e-mail). I suspect your fix may be the same or similar. Can someone else please chime in here? Eric.
