problem installing YDL301 on mac clone Umax Pulsar

[Michael Traynor]

Dear All,
I have been trying for evening after evening to install YDL 301 on an 
old Umax Pulsar (Mac 9600 clone - i.e. an Old world machine), 604e 
processor, 112 Mb RAM with 2 SCSI II disks and 2 SCSII CD drives.
I want to keep the Mac OS on one drive and the other for Linux.

Anaconda starts well via BootX and all of the components seem to be 
recognised including video card, but when it gets to the Disk 
Partitioning Setup it fails with this message:

File"/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py"' line 634, in nextClicked 
self.dispatch.gotoNext ()
File"/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py"' line 150, in gotoNext self.moveStep ()
File"/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 215, in moveStep 
rc=apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
File"/usr/lib/anaconda/partitioning.py"' line 57,
in partitionObjectsInitialiZe partitions.setfromDisk(diskset)
File"/usr/lib/anaconda/partitions.py"' line 114, in setFromDisk
ptype=fsset.fileSystemTypeGet(partedUtils.map_foreign_to_fsname(part.mac_native_type))
File"/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py"' line61, in fileSystemtypeGet return 
fileSystemTypes[key]
KeyError. Foreign

I've looked on the net for solutions without success. Could it be 
anything to do with the fact that this machine uses FWB disk drivers 
instead of Apple ones?

Any solutions would be hugely appreciated. I've tried other Linux 
distributions since but don't even get this far (another story).

thanks in advance

Michael
