Hi there, I'm brand-new to Linux (but I learn fast). I'm trying to install Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 on a Mac Power PC 6500. I am having an awful time, despite having a pretty good installation guide. The installation "hangs" at certain points in the process and locks my computer up (or at least I think it does. Is going for 10 minutes without any obvious further installation progress "hanging up"?). When I reboot and go into the install process again, it starts copying files and then I get messages that "such and such a file" is already installed and is the latest version", so obviously it's installing something. What I want to know is, is it common for these install programs to go for long periods of time without activity? I am not doing a large install (the Home / Office option) but it certainly seems as if the CD-ROM stops running, the progress bars do nothing and I'm getting frustrated. Can someone help me?
