Actually, I have the same problem when switching back and forth from X to console, but during the install there is no gpm running, so it's not that (unless there's two separate bugs going on here). Next time it happens with gpm (which really isn't that often), I will try to look at what ID it is printing. - -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9hrl1JB7s/tlHKVIRAlQpAJ4lmWzs+HiNAJsW4iVZerNNTtjnZQCfUJ5D AgCMb5IQ4HPlvtSmttyYEUY= =Qp8s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
