Yes, I need YDL 2.3 because our software team is currently developing
products with this version and I am merely hoping to replace a broken
machine (iBook G3) with a slightly better G4. Eventually the team will
move forward with a more recent Linux release on our next generation of
products.

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Hi Bill,<br><br>
Do you specifically need YDL 2.3? The latest release is 3.0.1, and
it's stable "like a rock" for me. Also, there's
4.0. It's supposed to be coming out "real soon
now".<br><br>
<br>
Is there something about YDL 2.3 that you specifically need?<br><br>
Rick<br><br>
PS This doesn't affect you, since you are only interested in G4 or
better, but for the benefit of those listening in: YDL 4.0 won't
"officially" support OldWorld Macs (Pre G3) -- but some highly
respected folks in the community have stated their intentions, once it's
released, of providing a FAQ for getting 4.0 to run on OldWorld
machines.<br><br>
