Gentlemen , (...if the shoe fits, wear it)

	I see many many posts reference people having problems booting the YDL CD.
As I was,
at one point, one of those ppl, I know where they are coming from... YDL
was actually my first 
"real" experience with Macs.. Aside from the occasional Oregon Trail , or a
peek over someones shoulders..
while they were busy clicking away - suffice to say , I knew that MAC was
from Apple, and different
from Intel/IBM compatibles in a hardware fashion - but that was about the
extent of my "MAC ATTACK"
.... what I did discover was that the boot process was weird - I attacked
it thinking that it shouldn't be too hard to figure out - which was a
mistake... To make a long story short - I see these posts all the time now
and it makes me wonder if anyone has told YDL that they should put the info
about this on their web site in an EASY to find location... so that all
these poor folks having the same problem could get it resolved quickly..
 - -- I know, RTFM , right ? But then again , we all know better !

Take Care !
