YDL on a iBook?

[Dylan Hand]

Yes, it is possible with 2.3 (the FREE version of YDL as of now). There 
is a special place on the TSS website that has updated ISOs. You need 
to download the new, updated ISO and install YDL 2.3 with that. The 
server is a little slow (only about 90K/sec) but it is good enough:
http://stage.terraplex.com/updates/apple/ibook/isos/ydl-2.3-11Dec02.iso

You can also do a Text install of YDL 2.3 (using the original ISO, not 
the updated one), set it to do a text login, then update the packages 
using RPM if you don't feel like downloading another ISO and burning 
it. The instructions for that were on the YDL website, but it looks 
like that info was replaced with how to update to YDL 3.

Hope that helps,
Dylan
