I'm new to using DSL, usually using YellowDog, and so I had a couple questions.

1. Can DSL be used on Macintosh's, and specifically iMac's and eMacs?

2. Can I install a bootable copy of DSL onto my thumbdrive off of Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, DSL only runs on i386 based PCs, and as far as I understand it will not run on the new intels Macs because of bios differences.

There's a version of Qemu for PPC called Q (check on Google, I'm lazy) so at last you could run it in emulation.
Not ideal, but you might carry your data around.
