I'm afraid, that didn't help. If it all has to do with the console script and believing the BLFS console script didn't work for me, I've tried using similar scripts from gentoo and SuSE and they didn't seem to do the magic !! An obvious question raising its ugly head is that, if these scripts work in gentoo or SuSE why don't they work in my BLFS setup ?? What is it that overrides these default settings and gags the keyboard combinations Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z in single user mode ?? I'm going to go thru' /etc/profile and other config files to see if there's something in there that is somehow overriding the default settings. As I happened to like the way SuSE sets up things, I actually have copied several lines from SuSE's /etc/profile and other config files. It's possible that one of the lines is causing this trouble. I'm gonna go thru' them all and come back later to say if it is so. Thanks again.
