"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"

The newest releases of Yellow Dog Linux support only New World
ROM systems, which are the blue-and-white G3 and above systems.
There are two versions of the G3, one that has a beige case and another that has the
blue-and-white case.
If you are installing Yellow Dog on a New World ROM system, go right to the next section,
???Beginning the Installation.???
If you are using an Old World ROM system, which are beige G3 systems and earlier hardware,
refer to the Yellow Dog Linux Web site (www.yellowdoglinux.com) for more information.
Beginning the Installation
After you have determined how you will boot your system (multi-boot or single Yellow Dog Linux
boot) and have loaded Mac OS X or Mac OS 9 or earlier as appropriate, you can begin installing
Yellow Dog Linux. This procedure focuses on the newest release of Yellow Dog Linux, but special
notes on aspects of the 3.0.1 install are included where appropriate.
1. Insert Yellow Dog Linux CD 1 into your CD-ROM drive, reboot your system, and press C
to boot off the CD-ROM.

2. If you downloaded Yellow Dog or have a burned CD-R, you may want to check your
media by appending mediacheck to the end of any of the install types (see Step 3 for
install types). For example:
install-safe mediacheck
This goes through all your media to determine if it is suitable for loading the operating
system.
