If you are running YDL on an Old World Mac, there is a little trick to 
getting Mac-On-Linux running. Maybe you could update us on your setup: 
on what computer did you install YDL, how large are your partitions, 
and so on?

(The little trick: since Old World Macs don't have a Mac OS ROM file 
installed in their System Folder, MOL doesn't see them. The trick is to 
copy the Mac OS ROM file from a New World Mac *or* to type "startmol" 
from a console while a Mac OS 9.1 Install CD is in the CD-ROM drive. 
The latter will let you reinstall the Mac OS while inserting the Mac OS 
ROM file. Sweet, huh?)

Best wishes,
Clint
