Installing YDL 3.0 ia FTP

[Dan Burcaw]

I think the problem here is that Mandrake does some funky things to the
partition map.  I've seen several people with YDL install problems
during partitioning after they've been using Mandrake. I suggest
initializing your drive.  Also, providing the error you received would
be useful to confirm this.
