Hello, all! Well, I checked the MD5Sum on the .iso I downloaded,and it's 33f5f2a407f36dfbb01946ece46bdf73, exactly what it's supposed to be (just as I thought). That means that either (a) something's wrong with the physical disk (which I doubt), (b) there's something wrong with my CD burner/Disk Utility (which I doubt) or (c) there's something entirely different going on, with 3.0.1 *and* 4.0 displaying these bizarre, reproducible errors.
There is an "InstallFest" scheduled for the local Linux User's Group on September 9; I'll see if they can shed any light on my woes. Unfortunately, most of them are x86 people, and, of those that are PowerPC people, I'm guessing most are New World people; thus, even the InstallFest may be of little help.

Debian-PowerPC and KUbuntu-PPC didn't work at all (couldn't even get the installer to run), so I'm back to YDL. I have discovered that part of my problem was trying to install 4.0.1 on an Old World Mac. The directions in <http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?t=339> are for 4.0, *not* 4.0.1 or 4.1; vmlinux-2.6.8-1.ydl.7 is the kernel that actually ships with 4.0, and is incompatible with 4.0.1 for sure and 4.1 assumedly. Having said that, I now get a "corrupt gcclib package" error at the start of the installation (instead of the consistent hangs I got with 3.0.1). Would anyone happen to have a copy of the original TerraSoft CDs for 4.0 (and maybe even the manual) I could buy from them? My 7500 can't read CD-RWs and is very finicky about which CD-Rs it will read, so I really need the original TerraSoft copies to isolate for where I'm getting the problem. Thanks much for all the help; I'll post to the YDL boards once I'm sure what the problems are - the 4.0/4.0.1 thing was a big step forward!
