Or fix quik to know about ext2. I wonder > if you put /boot in a separate ext2 partition, if you can then use ext3 for / ? Some googling suggests that this is possible, but I couldn't make it work. I just successfully installed Debian on the machine by booting into the installer using BootX. I used the 2.6 kernel and got the "reverse video" penguin, but once the installer started all the colours were fine and stuff worked. I then backed up my MacOS partition, formatted it as ext2 and set up a /boot/quik.conf file and installed quik on /boot. Unfortunately it still did not work. > Mmm, maybe we have a bug in imsttfb ?
