Unable to see installed YDL on my Mac G4 system.

[Dean Loros]

Well-when you booted from another device, you reset the open 
firmware--You will most likely have to "resee" your Linux partition 
everytime you use a drive other that the one you installed linux on--I 
run four drives in my system & kept OSX & Linux on the same drive--I 
have a extra OSX install on another drive as a backup--but haven't 
tried to boot from it yet--I'm sure I'll have to re-set the OF.

Try booting from the install disc as per prior Emails---There are 
several good sources for info in the web also--just Google for them--
