Package: quik-installer
Severity: normal


Due to a bug in the quik manpage stating that root and /boot can be on
different partitions quik-installer was 'fixed' to allow installation
of quik when /boot and root were not the same partition (but on the
same disk).  This is incorrect as testing booting with a separate boot
and /root fails with an inode error, while installing with /boot on
root works.  quik-installer therefore needs to be reverted to
insisting on using the same partition for root and /boot.

Hi,

quoting from #383739:

"quik just mounts 1 ext2 partition and reads etc/quik.conf, loads kernel
and initrd from the pathnames indicated in quik.conf. So if you want a
split /boot and root, you need to put your kernel(s) in /boot and put
quik.conf in /boot/etc/quik.conf."

And quik-installer does exactly this.


regards,
	Holger
