Upgrade from 3.0.1 to 4.0.0 / 4.0.1

Thanks Derick!

I thought 4.0.1 should have all changes of 4.0 incorporated. If I am not going to do upgrade but fresh install, directly go to 4.0.1 should be right choice. Am I correct?

It is best that you move up to the current version of YDL; jumping over 
YDL versions is more than OK, given your hardware it is perhaps 
recommended.  You should be able to download the YDL 4.0 installation 
manual, and ISOs then create your own CDs and install from them.  Then 
you'll be on your way as all the software supplied works together.
