How do I get my keyboard working again? A day later and the machine is accepting input from the keyboard. Still waiting for the whole process to finish. malcolm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hmmm, I'm not ready to reboot yet, I want to let the process finish. I can get past the dialogs using cut/paste into the shell with the mouse and klipper. thanks for sharing malcolm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
