This can save you a lot of time by determining that all of your CDs are good
before you invest your time in the installation procedure.
Although it doesn??™t show up in the Yellow Dog 3.0.1 text menu, you can still type
mediacheck after install or install-text to check your CD-ROMs.
3. After some cursory probing messages, you are prompted with a menu asking how you
want to boot the CD-ROM. If you are using a New World ROM G3 or G4 system (blueand-
white G3 and above machine), type install at the prompt to use the graphical user
interface method of installation. If you are using a G5 machine, type install-g5 at the
prompt to install using the graphical user interface.
If you can??™t get either of these methods to work, type install-safe for G3 or G4 machines
or install-g5-safe for G5 machines to use a generic video mode for installation. If neither
of these methods works, you can type install text for G3 or G4 machines or install-g5
text for G5 machines to install with the text installation method.
Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 has only install and install-text options available. Choose
install first, and if that doesn??™t work, choose install-text after rebooting.
4. The system will have been probed prior to this point to determine the hardware configuration.
