I don't know more about it. :-( If you can't get quik to work on your box, there seem to be two alternatives: A. BootX (requires MacOS) B. miboot (will require a custom kernel with scsi compiled in). I have setup a automated custom compiling make miboot floppies service, but it is not finished yet. You give it a .config file and a root device and you get miboot-floppy images and linux-image-*.deb:s out. If you're interested I might go ahead and finish it. -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <hans@sociologi.cjb.net> Q. What is that strange attachment in this mail? A.
