Thanks a lot. That did the trick. I typed : mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1 and this restored my md0 all right. After reboot, this change remains. So, I think that this particular problem is solved My next problem is one of keyboard. I had chosen a kind of automatic setup for my install. Despites this, I was questioned about language, and I had replied 'French'. However my keyboard is in QWERTY instead of being in AZERTY as it should. With past installed (RedHat 5.2, then RH6.0, RH7.2, Debian Sarge..., I had had no problem having my keyboard configured right away for AZERTY. It is not so here with that install of Lenny. System messages are in French (which I don't really care), but the keyboard is QUERTY, worse yet when I have to search for the right key for a special character. This is so in both console and graphic environment (GNOME). Thanks in advance for your help in switching my keyboard to the French setup. Next I will ask for how to replace GNOME with fvwm... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
