[QUOTE="Naso, post: 1369924, member: 238039"] Hello, I recently thought I'd try out Linux, so I wiped an old G4 Powerbook and installed Yellow Dog 6.1. However, it immediately became apparent that I had over-reached, in terms of IT skills, and that it would take about as long for me to learn Linux as it would for a herring to learn Old Norse. Now a friend needs the laptop, and I want to re-install Panther on it. But when I put the CD in and press C, the apple icon appears and then nothing happens. And I have absolutely no idea how to install it (or do anything at all) from within Yellow Dog: when I click on the 'Mac OS X Install Disc' icon I see a load of files but I don't know how to run them. I don't care whether Yellow Dog is deleted or not, I just want to get OS X working again. Can anyone help? Many thanks [/QUOTE]
