thanks everyone. I think we can close the YDL2.3 on G4 question.

For<br>
some reason the everymac website doesn't list model names.
According <br>
to the<br>

The model name is "Power Macintosh G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)" and I
know <br>
for a<br>
fact that it can run 2.3; however, the multiprocessing kernel will
not <br>
be<br>
installed by default -- you will have to do it manually.<br>

Yes. I successfully ran YDL 2.3 on a 800MHz DP Quick Silver (with
SMP<br>
enabled), dual IDE 80G disks (not SCSI but it should also work).
I<br>
question the 7400 denomination - weren't those NuBus machines?<br><br>
