Thanks Cian,

My next question would be how I would do this when installing YD 4.0. 
After the install it wants to go to GDM (GUI). I suppose I could change 
the init level but I would suspect that Yellow Dog allready has this 
Driver and it just needs to be inabled. NIce thing about using YD would 
be that it onl has to work with a very narrow list of hardware vs. the 
x86 Liniuxs.
