Hi, and thanks for the help in advance....
I installed YDL 2.1 successfully, by itself, on one of
the drives in my system. (see Sys Configuration below).
I did not however, place a Mac system on this disk, as I
have a Mac system on ANOTHER disk. I am under the
impression from reading the "Getting Started w/ YDL"
book, that this is possible though the book did not go into
detail to accomplish this. I am new to Linux/ Unix and am
proceeding cautiously until I have a better understanding of the
console and commands (VERY new to me).
CURRENT SITUATION:
I can start up in YDL, move around and configure in KDE.
I can shut down in YDL.
I do not, on startup, have the option of starting in the Mac environment
from the startup prompt (no "M" is displayed). I cannot find MOL
though I installed an "Everything" package.
In order to switch to Mac, I have to Exit YDL, shut down, disconnect
the YDL drive, then restart (oddly since the YDL installation it now
takes
longer by nearly 2 min to start MAC. Seems to hang at the screen w/
the first appearance of the cursor).
I would like to be able to configure YDL to have the Mac, YDL, MOL
startup options, recognizing Mac on the other disk, if this is possible.
