YDL/Mandrake release timing

[MHZ]

I had similar problems -in my iBook 500 mhz 192 MB Ram- but worked them 
out using

install-gui gui-old video=atyfb128 (rage128)

After that all worked fine. 9.1 fells good (much better than 8.2) but I 
think I still consider YDL  as top distro for Apple computers.
