Hi rev:
Unfortunately moving up to YDL 4 will not be so simple with the hardware you have. You will have to change your BootX settings specifically for YDL 4; it may be best to follow the instructions discussed here:

You can also go to to this link on Google for other topics related to this problem:

Best wishes....

THANK YOU so much for your help and time.
  i tried:
     tail -f /var/log/messages
and it seems my kernel doesn't support usb devices. So I'm downloading
the iso's for ydl 4.0.
I'll try that and keep you informed on my progress.
 Again thanks so much
     rob

Hi rev:
I'll assume you read and had no trouble understanding the previous
links I recommended to you.  From there once your drive is mounted all
you need to do is use pdisk to wipe out/erase your USB drive so that it
is formated for use as a LInux drive.  That's it, of course you are
clear that you'll have to set mount points for the USB drive, a name
and create a directory within /mnt using that same name.  So let's say
the name you choose is charles. Then:

# cd /mnt
# mkdir charles

 From then on when you mount that drive you can do:

# mount /mnt/charles

and that should be it.

Best wishes...

Hi again and special thanks to Derick,
I'm running YDL 3.01 on my iMac 233 with kernel 2.4.22. I want to an
external usb drive I have for more storage since the internal iMac
drive is only 4.3G. The drive has some things on it from os x that I
know longer need. What do I have to do make this USB drive work with
my linux box?
    TIA and have a great day
        Rob
