Correct. But quik is for so-called "old-world" machines whereas yaboot is for "newworld" ones, and grub-ieee1275 is still pretty new: I have played with GRUB for some years but have so far failed to make GRUB2 (that the ieee1275 variant is part of) work on Apple PowerPCs. >The point is that yaboot needs to be better maintained, not that >Debian would remove yaboot without also removing powerpc (which seems >unlikely at this point). I still need yaboot on some of my machines. I'll have a look at the package and consider adopting it. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAklU3b0ACgkQn7DbMsAkQLgWZwCfTBinG1wd5Xk5Nd0/PaLru3uh rIAAn3GOZHmViLzdbFcrOn80s4C/zHZ/ =NjY/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
