Grrr: etc. (formatting)

[Grant]

This is getting confusing for all.  let's start from scratch.

You have 2 choices:

1. have YDL only on the mac
2. have YDL plus the macOS of your choice

If you want both YDL and MacOS, you need to create two partitons, with 
drive setup or drive utility (either will work).  One must be macOS 
extended (for OS9 or 10).  The other must be formatted as "free space" 
- an option in apple's partiton/format utility.

If you want only YDL, then you format the whole thing as "free space" - 
its now a useless mac, but fine for YDL.

Next you need to run the installer from YDL disk #1.  Boot from the CD 
by holding the "C" key.  The installer will then ask you about 
auto-partitioning ----- BUT! within the "free space" you created.  So 
far, I'm reading that you didnt do that.

Yep, its pretty flaky for a consumer release.  But it will work on an 
iMAC (dont try this on a 12" powerbook though :-( )
