Installing YDL 3.0 on a Mac G3

[Geert Janssens]

Hmm, I have to apologize here.

It was rather late last night as I wrote this e-mail. This morning I 
rechecked, and I can't boot (anymore?) from the YDL CDs.

I'm still confused myself, because I have such a vivid memory of doing 
so before. I remember I needed to use CD-R's with 650Mb capacity in 
stead of 700Mb, as apparently, the CD drives weren't capable of booting 
from a 700Mb capacity CD-R. (Got this info from this mailing list, or 
the Linux PPC's).

Oh well, fact is, I couldn't boot from CD anymore this morning. There is 
a small chance that the CD has gone corrupt. I'll try again with the 
next release of YDL. I'll keep you informed.

Cheers,
Geert
