I just received YDL 3 in the mail today. I=B9m wanting to install it on my
Pismo Powerbook. I boot up from Disk 1, get Anaconda running and when I
reach the part about partitioning, I ALWAYS get an unhandled exception
error. No matter which of the three options I choose (auto, Disk Druid or
pdisk) I get the same error. Below is the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have one 10 GB IDE hard drive with two 5 GB partitions made by Disk Setup=
.
One is used by OS X, the other is free space. I'm wanting the YDL installe=
r
to create the bootstrap, swap and ext3 partitions in the free space.
This must be a bug with Anaconda, and I have already submitted it to the YD=
L
bug database. Has anyone else come across this error? Has anyone figured
out a workaround? =20
I've already had a really bad experience with Mandrake Linux 9.1 PPC. I'd
REALLY like to install YDL, but this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth as
well.
