Tom, I just installed 3.0.1 yesterday with no problem. That rule only 
applied to the Yellow Dog Linux versions prior to 2003-11-18. Here is 
the FYI from Yellow Dogs site.

-------------

How to install Panther ...
  Panther introduces a journaling filesystem to HFS+. This is good news 
for OSX but until the YDL kernel is updated to recognize the new 
partition formatting, there is a bit of a trick to installing Panther 
so that YDL remains functional--so, a) use Jaguar to format the OSX 
partition (or just don't reformat with Panther); b) install Panther on 
the partition created by Jaguar. Those of you simply upgrading from 
Janguar to Panther should be ok.

  An alternative is to download newer YDL ISOs (2003-11-18 or newer). 
You can find them by selecting a mirror from here.

Hope this helps.
