Actually, there is a vmlinuz on prep and chrp machines, and even for oldworld .coff kernels. The vmlinuz symlink (actually it is /boot/vmlinuz, not /vmlinuz) is provided by the 2.4 kernel, both the -chrp and -prep one, and probably by the -pmac also, since it provides the .coff vmlinuz kernel.

Oops - apologies. I've also been testing the i386 version of the installer and may have imagined I saw "vmlinuz" and unfortunately I didn't have time to repeat the process to make sure. > > > Upshot - quik fails to install. > > > > This is on a beige G3 266Mz - I've never been able to get quik working > > on this box.

I came across these pages just now - very useful thanks. I'm giving the G3 away and I've a number of other projects on the go and so I think I'll have to let this one go.
