Risto; I used your posted SxS, placed vmlinux & initrd in the top level of the MacOS system folder, and it booted. The install is where I had the issue(s), of going through the steps and hanging when it came to installing the quik bootloader. I don't understand why it's install quick as I thought that BootX would be used. I went through several iterations of disk partioning schemes without any successful install. One message I got several times was that Quik has to be on the first partition. The MacOS has a small partition at the first that doesn't delete for me, so I'm kind of stuck there. In terms of the disk partioning. Is the MacOS partition supposed to be overwritten and that's why the installer wants to install Quik ? I can't seem to find an option to toggle Quik off. -- Regards, S.D.Allen - Toronto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
