Yeah! I did it!
Have now YDL on my Powermac 4400.
What did I do?
First, I read the YDL- documentation again (and got some hints from an =
Apple-specialist too). Finding out, that on "old-world"-Macs booting =
into Linux is only possible after booting into Mac OS and loading the =
boot-loader there. That means, you have to install MacOS AND Linux.
So I installed MAC OS again on a small partition (300MB). The rest of =
the Harddisk (about 1.7 GB) left free.
After that, I installed YDL as described in the documentation. For sure, =
I took YDL 2.1, which is recommended for PM 4400 (first I tried YDL 2.2, =
but I had some other troubles, as you can read above. maybe that one =
would even work - I dunno).
To answer my question from above: Burning the ISO-file is possible in =
Windows too, of course. For that I used WinOnCD5.
Thanx to Alex for cheering me up.
Peter
