Need help installing yellowdog linux on powerPC

[Renato Pedroso Henriques]

I have a power mac g4, 450 mz AGP with 512 mb ram, and
I cannot start from any ISO cd. I downloaded the
latest version 4.0.1 orion. What do you recomend both,
toast settings for the cd burn, and which is the most
apropriate version?
