Hi guys,

I have MacOS X 10.1.5 installed on my TiBook on the entire internal 
drive. I'm not extremely happy with the OS and would like to install YDL 
2.2 on the machine. I have an external 30 GB drive, connected via 
FireWire and I want to use it in it's entirety for YDL. I have recently 
played a lot with RedHat Linux on an Acer notebook and that convinced 
me, that the time has come for me to try Linux on this machine again. I 
have used YDL (1.2 and 2.0) before on my PowerBook G3 but not, since I 
got the TiBook. I can not install it on the G3, since that has changed 
ownership - it now belongs to my wife, and I don't dare touch it ;-).

I have scanned the list and there is some mention that you can install 
YDL and access FireWire devices, but there is no mention of actually 
booting off a FW drive. Is that at all possible? What do I need to do to 
et this working right?

Best regards,
Chris
