Hmm, so technically I'm supposed to pay Apple for the use of BootX /
miboot ?
Another good reason for me to use quik.
One of the biggest reasons I'm using linux on everything is that I don't
have to pay licence fees.
Yes, I can get all the software I want for free, but I want to keep a
clear consience.

Thanks for the help, I guess I'll have to search on for a sollution for
quik but for now the system is working.
