Install Woes on my G4 Sawtooth

[r. may]

I had this problem when I tried installing YDL 2.2.  The proble was
indeed the mount points.  The installer was trying to use a partition
that I use for /home, but it's the first on the drive.  The installer
did not use the partition that I had just formatted.
