What's up? well to start read the bug ;-) basically i think the following should happen: deep six the whole create boot-floppy thing for powermac, its worthless. if newworld check for the existence of /etc/yaboot.conf, if it exists do nothing, if not run yabootconfig (if available). yabootconfig will do all necessary prompting. if oldworld tell user they must fix /etc/quik.conf (if it exists) to point at the new kernel and that pointing at a symlink won't work. if quik.conf does not exist ask to generate one like it does now, only make one that works (ie doesn't point image= at symlinks). quikconfig is broken. there is no need to rerun quik or ybin after kernel installs (ybin need only be run if /etc/yaboot.conf changes, not the kernel). -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
