YDL 3.0 - Disk 3 Image

[Rick Thomas]

Ed,

Here's a *real* bit of black magic for you to try.

Check that the md5sum of the *first* CD's ISO is correct.  The 
program that is calling for the third CD comes from the first CD -- 
the setup part of the installation process copies the main install 
program to hard disk after the fileseystems are all created, then 
runs the rest of the process from there.

(Pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps...)

If you think about it, they would have to do something like that 
because there is only one CD drive.  You have to remove the first 
CD from the drive in order to get the second (and, in your case 
most importantly, the third) CD loaded.  So the program on the 
first CD has to leave something behind somewhere to guide the 
loading and installation of the second and third CDs.

Then, as always, make sure you are using 650 MB CD-R blanks.  Some 
older CD drives have trouble with reading 700 MB CD-Rs.  The B&W 
G3s are just about old enough to be in the generation that had 
those problems.


Enjoy!

Rick
