That does seem rather fast, it took me ~ 3 hours with cable broadband

I can't seem to get that far!


I have an iMac DV 400 with 1 gig of RAM and a 40 gig HD that is
basically doing nothing right now so I thought I would try Linux on it.

<excerpt>My problem is I am trying to  download YDL 3.0 to my
iBook(800 Combo model with 640 RAM and running OS 10.2.6)

(I plan on burning the CDs and then installing YDL on the iMac)


I've gone to the yellowdoglinux download page:

I've tried clicking either

<color><param>0B0A,1110,F4F3</param>Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 ISOs
</color>(CD-ROM images) 

the icon appears on my desktop, seems to have the whole program in
just a couple of minutes

(I have cable but this just seems too fast for the size of YDL)

<excerpt>Could someone please tell me step by step how to burn the YDL
install cds on myiBook so I can then install YDL on my iMac?

I'm sure once I get over this hump I'll be able to figure things out(I
hope).
