Bill,
I am more aquatinted with Debian than Yellow Dog. I do not have a
distro for the PPC. If you know of anyone or if you can get one that would
be great. I do have DSL and a burner. Can you point me to an Ftp site with
the correct distro and I can toast one. I will be booting Linux on the KT7
from one of the non-raid controllers, a 5gb WD drive
Thanks,
Doug
