Thanks for the prompt reply, but I'm not quite to kernel compilation yet. In fact, the LFS system isn't even bootable yet. It was during bootscript configuration that I noticed the 'B' disappearance. Beyond that, nothing is out of the ordinary with the keyboard. I'm using the standard us map. Is it possible that the file , /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz, could be somehow corrupted? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
