A while ago I picked up a broken Powerbook 3400 from a friend. After
replacing the screen and messing around with it for a little bit, I
decided to try and put Yello Dog on it.
The laptop is running OS 7.6. Yellow Dog offers instructions for OS 9
but none below that. So, i tried to do it with as much as I could
glean from the OS 9 instructions. I "initialized" the hard drive into
one 100 MB partition for the Mac OS and left the rest (Something like
2 GB) blank. Then I burned a copy of the first disk of Yellow Dog
3.0.1 (the latest version of Yellow Dog) and began installing it per
the instructions given at
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/suppor...ide-single.pdf
. I tried to unzip the boot loader file BootX_1.2.2.sit but StuffIt
told me the archive was corrupted. I burned another copy of the CD, re
downloaded the ISO (thank god for braodband) and still, it said the
file was corrupted.
Im thinking I might need a newer version of StuffIt but I'm not sure.
If anyone has any experience with this or ideas on what can be done,
please any help would be greatly aprreciated.
