Hmm, saying that it wont install is a bit to much ...
YDL4 installs but X wont work. That is a known problem on certain types of 
hardware. Because of that problem there is an errata in the UPDATES 
section ... See :
http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-4.0/ppc/Xautoconfig-0.23-1.ydl.2.ppc.rpm

If you run yum update or install this newer Xautoconfig your problem 
should be solved.

execute the command "Xautoconfig" as root and a new working X config 
should be created. After that X should start fine...

Good Luck,

Eddie
