guess what I should have said was, "if you've sent this, I haven't received
it yet"

Unfortunately, got the unit because it was broke....didn't get any
software...I have burned disc 1 of Yellow Dog and tried a Gentoo PowerPC
Live CD....neither have booted...(same errors as listed).

As Ralph has mentioned - I'll probably need to burn some on a different
machine with a different brand media - just haven't gotten there yet.

I noiced that someone said Mac OS 7.5.something is available for
free...although the 'specs' say the minimum OS for this model is
8.1...should I ignore that?

Thanks again - Dave
