I like to have fun with my box. Even though it is my main computer. However, i should be more careful: debian weather has been down for a week or two so I have no idea how badly broken sid is these days and I may be boxing myself in to a corner.... > Anyway, if it now works for you...

Thank you very much!!!! Now (you are really on the ball so I would love to ask you another question ...) I will start another thread about a problem with my keyboard It intermittently is typing unstopping repeated letters when I enter just one letter. It is not a keyboard problem as it persists with a change to another keyboard. Seems (perhaps) to have started with my switch to a new motherboard with 6 multicore processer/ faster amd chip. here are similar bug reports https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15055 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/39315 A friend suggested trying a USB keyboard instead of a ps2 one. Or putting a PS2->USB dongle in between. I will try to substitute a usb keyboad to see, but it is very irritatting and I am used to this keyboard for a while. Any ideas? I will start a new thread though. Mitchell > > > -- > Klaus > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a > subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
