That may be true with quik itself - but console usage of OF is a PITA for most of the older (OF 1.0.5-ish) machines - I can't get my 9600 to retain the re-mapping of kbd/screen for more than one reboot - i.e. set the OF vars (using BootVars) reboot - OF is OK to screen & kbd. Next reboot they are reset back to point to 38400 serial :-((( ... BootX is much nicer... :-) especially for those of us who still _need_ to use MacOS for other work... ciao, Iian. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
