Install error Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1--PROBLEM SOLVED!

[Paul N. Schatz]

	Ashok, I simply followed the instructions in the 11 page 
pamphlet: "A Companion to Installing Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1" Rev 18 
September 2003.  This covered everything.  You can download this from 
Terra Soft's web pages. After installation, when you start or restart 
your Mac, you will be given several seconds to hit either the L key 
or the X key to start up in Linux or Mac OS X.  If you do neither, it 
will start up in the system you choose as the default near the end of 
the installation process.

	Paul
