(i just checked that with r3 bootfloppies, even on a newworld where quik will never work it happily installed quik) it installs quik. the unstable, broken development only woody bootfloppies however DO say installing quik is not yet possible. you aren't using woody bootfloppies somehow are you? if so stop they are not ready for normal users/installs only experts willing to fix code and such. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
