You can answer this with man apt-get.

With quik, you don't get a dual-boot option. However, I find it works
pretty well, assuming your display shows the OpenFirmware prompt to:
nvsetenv auto-boot? false
Then, when you reboot, you get the OF prompt. To go ahead into Linux,
type boot; for MacOS, type bye.
If you're unlucky and the machine doesn't show the prompt, then use
Ctrl-Apple-P-R during the startup chime to reset the parameter RAM
which will allow MacOS to boot. Then set up BootX.
