YDL on Xserve

[Mackay, Michael]

Delmiro,

I downloaded a very recent version of the iso set, dated 23 May 2003.  I =
have the enhanced support service, so, not knowing what you have, and =
not knowing whether I'm allowed to point you to the links, I'll just ask =
generally of the YDL folks whether you can go get the ISOs yourself, and =
whether I can post the links.  I'm sure this version will be out soon =
anyway.

It installed easily, and it seems to be working OK, except for the two =
things I mentioned..

Mike
