Thanks for the help with my previous distress calls. I fear this will not be the last.
I just booted the "i386" CD on my new HP machine. It displayed a bunch of stuff, ending with the choices (I) install (S) shell. I tried to type "I" or "i", but nothing happened on my screen, seemed to be no response at all. Control-C and control-alt-del did not do anything either. I ended up turning the machine off. Keyboard is working with windows. It may be significant that one of the things displayed was "kbc: cmd word write error". Bonus question: I last installed linux (debian) over five years ago. I had that co-existing with a windows partition. The machine orignally had its entire hard disk as windows. I had to use a program (FIPS) to shrink the windows files to a smaller space, which then became my windows partition when I used fdisk. I didn't see any description of this part of the process in the installation instructions. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
