Well, I have managed to get YDL installed now.

However when I go to login as root, i keep getting a 
login incorrect message.

Any ideas? I reinstalled linux to make sure that I was typing
in the 8 letter password correctly.

I can set the run level to anything I want if that helps, but
I don't really know what to do when I have done so.

I have read through the pdf install file from YDL but it
hasn't mentioned anything.

The login screen says:

Welcome to Yellow Dog Linux!
Champion Server release 1.2 (tty)

Hi.

I got told to trash the ibook and have a play, so I decided
to try linux on it.

I have managed to install YDL on it, but can't figure out how to
boot it. I also cant get rid of a very small partition at the start of the
disk (0-63 blocks). Do I need to?

When i boot up the ibook I get an apple box with a ? in it. When I have the
installation cd in, I get an install boot. After I install I get a message
saying

To boot into Linux you must
set the 'Root device' in BootX
to /dev/hda2. You must also uncheck
the ramdisk option.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Antony
