4.01 on Beige G3

[Murias]

Hello,

I am currently running a Beige G3 tower with YDL 3.x on it.  The  
machine is in serious need of an upgrade of YDL, and am in a place  
where I can wipe the drive and place a fresh and clean install onto it.

I have been trying to do a search on the various groups to see if the  
4.01 install disks support the Beige.  I have only really been able  
to get that there was something missing from the kernel in the 4.0  
release.  Does this also hold true for the 4.01?

I have found that yum is functional on my machine... If necessary I  
can also do the upgrade that way.  I have already changed my yum conf  
file as prescribed by another post in the newbie list.

What suggestions does anyone have to upgrade this machine.

I have also read about ubuntu, but would rather stay with YDL.

TIA for any and all input.

Peace
Murias
