YDL 2.2 and PPC 7500

[Andreas Wulf]

I have YDL 2.2 on my Power Macintosh 7600/132 73mb RAM on a 6GB partition and YDL 2.2 doesn't work very well on it, YDL 2.1 works better because in YDL 2.2 if you decide to boot up in to graphical mode the mouse doesn't work and other problems occure. Other programs like MOL, kio-mac and some others don't work either. I don't know how YDL 2.2 will work on a 7500 with a G3 upgrade but th 7600 has the same mother board as the 7500.
