12" G4/800 iBook video question

[Charles Pillsbury]

well... I split my already sparse 30 gig partition down to 20 gig for
OS X and ~9 for Linux... installed YDL and get my ugly 4 color X
working... and I'm fearing the reformat and re-install on the linux
partition... APPARENTLY there's a 'working on ibook G4' kernel out
there (and YDL ISOs too)... though not readily available for download
it seems... still hunting down that possability.
