At least *one* thing you might want to do is change your system date and

there are many things in Yellow Dog Linux that do not function properly
if your system time is incorrect:

The shutdown command must be issued as root, and is in the form of
"shutdown -h now" (to shutdown) or "shutdown -r now" (to reboot).
"reboot" should also work.

Good luck!
