Upgrade YDL 3.0 to 4.0 on Oldworld Powerbook 3400

[R. McFarlane]

At 12:41 PM 12/7/2004, Lewis Coleman, had this to say :

>I have to do a remote shutdown or disconnect the PRAM battery (not

         Edit the config file and change the setting so that the power key 
is disabled. I can not recall which file it is, but I know it is in /etc . 
Look maybe for pmud or pbbutton (I think it's this one). Probably easiest 
to grep for power key on all files recursively.

         The new pmud/PBbuttons is great but it screwed up the video 
display on my 3400 so I had to remove it.
