I purchased YDL 3.0 and it installed fine.  However, I cannot use MOL
(to launch into OSX)as I get an error that I'm running old-world ROM. 
The machine I'm using is a Powerbook Firewire (PISMO,2000).  See below
for the copy of the response when attempting to load MOL:

Please someone help.  Is this having to do with an install issue?  Is it
an ROM issue?  I am also concerned about the RAM amount showing as 48
MB's (see highlighted).  Is this the amount of RAM not being utilized
already by Linux.  My system has 1GB of RAM and at install it would only
recognize up to 768 MB's.
