Hello YDL,
Okay, I have got to ask why it is that YDL 3.0 ISOs can only be
burned to 650MB CDR/CDRW media to get working copies? 2.1/2.2/2.3
all worked fine on 700MB media in my iBook (blueberry 300MHz), but
YDL 3.0 will only boot if I burn to 650MB CDRW (can't get 650MB CDR
media locally).
Yes I have verified md5sums and that the copies are error free (able
to copy all data from CDs to HD without error on more than just one
machine).
I am able to boot the machine if I burn to 650MB CDRW but the
install dies when I get to the partitioning section. Makes no
difference if I select Disk Druid or pDisk. This does not appear to
be causing any problems with the currently installed YDL 2.3. In
all cases so far I have chosen Graphical and Custom. No matter what
is chosen at the partitioning screen, it crashes and must be
rebooted, ending the install "abnormally". I was only able to get a
700MB CD to boot once and that install crashed before getting into
X, never able to boot that CD again though.
Sorry, but I am having a hard time buying that it is my hardware
when I can boot/install 2.1-2.3 from 700MB CDs. Any ideas on how I
can get past this problem?
