By "Mainstreet," I think you mean you are installing Yellow Dog Linux on
an older PowerBook G3 laptop. The PowerBook G3 is an "Old World"
Macintosh, and thus you cannot install YDL 4.0 or newer on it without
additional steps. Here are a few posts from the List archives to get you
started:

Good luck!
