This is a -user question really, but I'll cover it real quick. Base-config in woody is broken. It's fixed in sid. You'll have to either wait for it to move to woody (soon), or workaround by switching to another terminal, moving /etc/inittab.real to /etc/inittab, and rebooting. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
