Trying to install on a 3400c PowerBook. Help! (corrected)

[Derick Centeno]

If memory serves me correctly, YDL 3.0 still used apt-get, yum was 
developed a few months later.  Which means you can probably still get 
yum to run on 3.0 with a bit of work.
You got this far so you are up to it.

Congratulations, Deacon!
