Description Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-14 00:09:03 UTC
we should add something to the ppc faq about quik. vladimir suggests:


Quik is a bootloader for oldworld PPC machines (If you use BootX, you can use
Quik, if you use yaboot, you can't). It can be incredibly difficult to install,
and is currently *NOT* working with gcc 3.x (read: Gentoo 1.4), but the end
result is somewhere between neato and breathtaking (think yaboot on speed - With
ketchup).

If you have no fears of wearing your fingers into little nubs paging through
countless sources of nearly useless documentation, please see the following links:

Some links doesn't work.
There is not any Howto,
the quik manpage only.
