I can't seem to find any documentation on installing Yellowdog 4 to an old world mac if anyone knows a good step by step link let me know. I could really care less how i get a flashplayer running though. I have bochs 2.3 running already on yellow dog 2.1. but i keep getting the error: Device Bios could not read the boot disk is there anyway to correct this? Anyone here know anything about bochs?

so maybe i can run win95 to run ie version with shockwave.
Also can you send me a link on how to install yellow dog 4.1 on ppc 8500 if you have one?

ALL sorts of documentation on the internet on how to do this.
The REAL problem is no FLASH player for ppc.

Also, I truly believe you quoted him out of context, so here is the
quote verbatim.
"We have chosen to no longer officially support the beige G3 product
line -- my personal favorite for its incredibly robust offerings.
This does not mean it will not work -- simply we will not apply
