Mark, Thanks for the ideas. It still is giving me grief and I may try another distro soon. I think i may have been wrong about it freezing. I think it is simply not finding the key board. I have been able to get to differant quasi-GUI screens and no matter what one i get to and what it is prompting me to do it doesnt recognize anything i type. I tryed an external keyboard but it didnt help. Any thoughts? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo! Companion Toolbar.
