Apropos of this, Terra Soft has today released Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1:

<http://yellowdoglinux.com/>

"Announcement: 17 September 2003
Yellow Dog Linux v3.0.1 ships with all errata as of 9/4/03, kernel 
2.4.22 (Xserve rev2, PowerBook 17" rev1 sans fan support), and improved 
installer (*NO MORE DUAL DRIVE BUG!*). Available now from the Terra 
Soft Store and YDL.net Enhanced accounts." (Emphasis mine.)

I assume it will be available to the rest of us via yum update in a few 
weeks.

Best wishes,
Clint
