Sorry guys,

I've been real busy. So far nothing's worked,
unfortunately. I've even double checked the cd's with
mediacheck and they are ok. So here is a checklist of
all I've done:

Changed CD drives
Changed Hard Drives
Changed RAM
Changed PRAM battery
Reset PRAM
Tried using ext2 instead of ext3
Checked jumpering

So far nothing has worked at all. I'm going to wait
for YDL 4.0 to come out and see if that works on it.
After that I'm kind of at a loss.. I will probably try
putting some version of BSD or a different version of
Linux on it.

For those of you just tuning in :) I have a g3 blue
and white tower 350Mhz with 640Mb RAM that I am trying
to install YDL 3.0.1 on and it keeps rebooting during
the installation at various different points during
the file copy process.. at one point it actually made
it to the second cd only to reboot a minute in.
