Which points to /boot/vmlinux-2.2.18pre21. When I was having problems after using the install instructions on debian website, i wiped the PRAM and then modified quik as above. Not sure if quik will work through a symlink or not. Although /vmlinux points to 2.2.18pre21, 2.2.19 is installed (at least on a cd-rom install) and that's what i pointed to. > that is a bug in the quik installation then, quik does not support symlinks. > i went back into the installer and exited from there instead. mainly due to the error on umount. I thought the installer might do something to correctly umount /target. > umount /target/proc you had to have mounted that for quik to work, since quik requires /proc -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
