[Michael Barkowski]

I downloaded burned a DVD of the public ISO for Apple.

e57cd039cfd2dea88cf2c840be2b67c8  yellowdog-5.0.1-phoenix-20070326-APPLE.iso

I burned it using Disk Utility.

When I booted from the disk by holding down C, I got a yaboot prompt and 
hit return.
I got about a 1/4 screen of text printed white on black.
Then about 1 screen of larger text printed black on white.
Then the screen flashes and goes black.
About a minute later the fan comes on full.
Waited about 5 minutes - nothing happens after that.

It was free, so I'm fine with it, just thought you'd like to know.
