Thanks for the info. I certainly would like to recompile the kernel and change those settings. But I don't have a sparc to spare. The one which has linux installed have to serve a an X terminal so I can compile things in the background. But with the "keyboard broken", I have to switch it back to solaris. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PHAM Dinh Tuan | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul | Tel: +33 4 76 51 44 23 BP 53, 38041 Grenoble cedex (France) | Fax: +33 4 76 63 12 63 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
