hm_murdock:
I'm looking to run YDL on a Powerbook 3400, but I'm not quite sure what CDs I need. They have 3 ISOs on linuxiso.org, but zero description. Knowing that the distro is RedHat based, I'm guessing that discs 1 and 2 are needed for the install, while disc 3 is source.

Am I correct in this assumption? Do I only need to d/l 1 & 2?

Update:
forget it. I changed my mind after reading through the forums at linuxiso.org. it seems that Linux on Apple hardware is as hodgepodge and half-ass as it is on X86.

I'll stick with OS 8.6 on there

suselinux:
Try Mandrake PPC

They have pretty good Hardware support on PC's.

or better yet SuSE is suposed to work great on Apple computers.

hm_murdock:
SuSE has a PPC release?!?!

where?

Mandrake and SuSE have MUCH better support for hardware configuration and all than RH does, IMHO. YDL is a RedHat based distro, and therefore inherits all of the Hat's annoying qualities!

xyle_one:
Mandrake PPC worked out pretty good on my clamshell iBook if that helps. The install was a little funky as I couldn't boot into mandrake if I used Lilo. When i used Grub, it worked fine. I kept getting a strange error with Lilo.

hm_murdock:
is mandrake smaller than 3 CDs?

and what desktop does it use? I'd like to use a RH based distro because of RedHat's honestly superior (IMHO) desktop
