I don't insist on it. The instructions tell us to use it. The only
instructions I am aware of is the one where we do 'boot
cd:,/install/yaboot'.
If the instructions have changed, can you please tell us where the
updated instructions are located?
The README on the ISO has an Installing section, but there are no instructions.
