[ydl-gen] Yellowdog 5.0.2 Install Issues

[Rob Hines Jr.]

It's listed on that page:

Apple iMac Flat Panel 700-800MHz G4, 2002-03

The form factor was colloquially known as a lampshade iMac, at least by 
the people I knew. It has a 40GB HD. The bottom plate says 
700Mhz/512MB/40HD, but I know the memory has been upgraded to 1GB.

Any other thoughts?

Hi Rob:

I know what a lampshade is, but I've never heard the phrase applied  
to any Mac.
However if your Mac fits any of the descriptions on this page:

There may be an issue if your hard drive is smaller than 10GB.
