Hi, I was installing YDL 2.3 on a PowerMac 7500/100, and that machine is 
very similar to PowerMac 8500. It is possible. I always left "no video 
driver" unchecked, I have no clue why I should need it.

Both GUI and text-based-installer did work. What I really forgot first 
was the huge disk-space I had to keep ready for the installer: 
home/office option takes 1,5 GB, the "developer" 1,7 GB etc. If the 
installer runs out of diskspace it hangs forever somewhen, without any 
useful message about what was wrong. I started with a 1 GB partition :-p

That said, aren't those installer nothing else than modified 
redhat-installers (and YDL is basically a PPC-specific redhat-distro?)
