Sorry, but that's not quite right, unless you mean only on the macmini; I
hosed OSX -- not only on purpose but with great glee -- when I installed
YDL 3.0 to replace both YDL 2.3 and OSX on a G3 iBook; it ran fine till
4.0 came out; then I replaced it with 4.0, and it still runs fine. (That's
using Terrasoft CDs, both times.)
Otoh, nothing I can find to do seems to succeed at replacing YDL 4.0 with
Fedora Core 4 ppc; so maybe the Fedora folks are making your same
assumption ....
