The blinking keyboard lights are the sign of a kernel panic. AFAIK, there isn't much you can do about this. Try browsing the files in /var/log and check your home directory for coredump files (although I don't think kernel panics would create these). These typically start with the word "core". -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {PGP/GnuPG: http://dhanapalan.com/yama.asc 049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "Don't underestimate the power of survival of the fittest." -- Linus Torvalds
