I have seen this. At first, I thought that the items at the bottom were inoperative, but they work: the selected item is slighly different: all the letters are the same grey, while the first letter of the _non_ selected items are black. Hitting the "tab" key allows to cycle through items, as do the arrows (same as before). Needless to say, this has to be fixed, but I did not take the time before the release, and I got used to it. Will look at it. Pierre -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
