Problems with a Bondi Blue iMac (233)

[puli brothers]

The first time I responded to this post I tried to confirm this was a
working configuration.

The first time I installed YDL I took extensive notes. They are posted here:

http://www.imaclinux.net/plain_page.php?caller=imaclinux.php3+record=26

I didn't include them in the first post, cause I had forgotten them, and the
last two times I installed (YDL 2.2 and 2.3) it went so smoothly I didn't
think keeping my notes was worthwhile any longer.

Other people may wish to comment, if this posting is too obsolete it should
probably be removed, or if people think it is worthwhile, I could try to
update it one of these days.
