Install of 2.3 onto old DP G4

[Mike Worsfold]

I am attempting to install yellow Dog Linux 2.3 onto my DP 1GHz G4 
PowerMac.  I partition the first IDE disc as suggested with a 10MB 
startup, 256Mb swap and 1Gb Linux partition.  Then the installation of 
the packages fails with a "transaction error", and a suggestion that I 
should fix it manually!  Anybody have any idea where I can go from here?

I don't know if it is relevant, but I have MacOS X 10.2 installed on 
the SCSI disks, and I have a "titanium" graphics card, so the graphical 
install won't run.

Thanks for any help.

Mike
