Screenshots?

[Joe Froehlich]

You're correct.

startmol --cdboot does boot a MacOS startup CD, but not the YD startup CD. I
was hoping to boot from the latter. :(

I think MOL doesn't support booting from CD except Mac OS.
I tried it before but failed.

You can capture the screens by another way.

1. Install YDL to your computer. (You need to create a partition
except root partition for saving images.)

2. Boot from CD again, and run installer.

3. Switch to the console (Ctrl+Alt+fn+F2).

4. Make temporary directory. And mount installed Linux and created
partition.

Ex.(if Linux partion is /dev/hda10 and created partition is /dev/hda11)
# mkdir /mnt/tmp
# mkdir /mnt/img
# mount /dev/hda10 /mnt/tmp
# mount /dev/hda11 /mnt/img

5. Move directory as follows.

# cd /mnt/tmp/usr/X11R6/bin

6. Run the capture command as follows.

# sleep 10 ; ./xwd -display :1 -root > /mnt/img/screenshotname.xwd

Please note you need to back to the X Window in 10 seconds in this case.
X is Ctrl+Alt+fn+F7.

7. Repeat this work and finish installation. Please note you should not
touch a partition for saving images during this installation process.

After installation, you can get screenshots from a partition. And you
can edit xwd files with gimp.
