Disabling Scroll Lock is a bad idea because some messages are only seen when they are likely to scroll off the screen. E.g. Bug#21758, "so unless you watch the long list of filenames which scroll up the screen at a reasonable rate, you don't know that these packages are not on the system." Consider also that dselect should be usable on a default terminal which often has only 25 lines, exacerbating the scroll-off problem. - Bruce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
