A quick question for you. How did you get YDL installed on the B&W?
I can't boot up from the CD and don't have access to a machine with 
newer firmware. All the solutions I have found are over my head right now.
Even tho I'd hate to move to another distro (this community seems to be 
the best and most active) I'm about this close ( |--| ) to giving gentoo 
or debian a try.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thx--
