I think, we can wait that long :))) > I'll also experiment with the key-combinations, but from earlier experience I > think only Fn+Shift won't do very much on my model. That would be an ugly and confusing situation... We would have to tell people: 1. try Fn+Left-Shift (and never press Ctrl) 2. if that does not work, press Ctrl The problem is that 1. may fail for other reasons and then everyone will try with Ctrl pressed. I.e. the best would be if we find a combination that works on all models. Or we will have overwritten 2.4 kernels every now and then :( But if we manage to restore it from 2.6/Debian we can at least recover. BR, Nikolaus > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dr. H.
