YDL 6 on iMac G5

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Ali:

About the modem, well at least it was attempted.  After all, we are  
practically neighbors as we do at least live on the same planet.  :)

Regarding the YDL 6 DVD.  If you take the time to explore it  
carefully I don't think that there are any sources in it.  I think  
that all the packages provided are compiled already.  I recall that  
years ago TSS included the sources but I don't think the sources are  
present in the DVD.  If they had been, you'd have no trouble seeing  
them as you opened the DVD and looked for either Sources or SRPMS.  I  
don't see either.

One link to one of the public mirrors where the sources are located  
is here:

http://mirror.anl.gov/yellowdog/releases/yellowdog-6.0/

Look for SRPMS.

Best of Fortune...
