Yes, it is a beige Apple Power Macintosh G3 which does need BootX. quik and floppy don't boot it without serious hacking, I hear, so until I have a working system BootX it is. > And, out of interest: how do you boot the oldworld G3? quik, or floppy > boot?? Can quik do dual booting on such a box? Would like to know, but I really would rather delete MacOS. Never found a step-by-step guide to quik that would work here, will try again later. -- Leandro GuimarÃes Faria Corcete Dutra <ldutra@prefeitura.sp.gov.br> Prefeitura do MunicÃpio de SÃo Paulo Governo EletrÃnico, Telecentros +55 (11) 5080 9647 http://br.geocities.com./lgcdutra/ +55 (11) 5080 9648 _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
