YDL Installation onto Mac OS X (HFS+) partitioned Drive: YDL disk icon disappears, unmounted and unseen.

[Derick Centeno]

According to what I've read regarding YDL 4.0 you need all FOUR (4) 
discs for installation, not 3.  If you are using YDL 3.0 instead which 
does use only 3 disks for installation, that would explain a lot of 
your difficulty.

However, YDL 3.0 is perfectly fine for Old World systems, but OS X may 
not work well on systems slower than 500MHz (the speed at which most 
Old World systems operate).

Best wishes...
