You're right that I don't need to do the source thing. I do have a question about "chroot /mnt/ur.sdb3.mnt.pt /usr/sbin/ybin" however. By doing this command, will ybin now access the modified yaboot.conf in sdb3? What is it that chroot is doing in this command? I realize this is a basic question, but I'm kind of fuzzy on what the function of chroot is.
