'lo. I just tried to do a graphical install on an hppa C3600 and failed, probably due to the hppa images being 2 weeks out of date. Jeff has already taken care of that.
The problem I'd like to discuss is cursor keys. If I try to use them (USB keyboard), strange things happen. Switching to a shell and using the tried-and-true 'cat >/dev/null' shows a newline, followed by ^[[A and another newline when I press the up-arrow. Obviously this is the primary problem that needs to be fixed, but I'd like to talk about workarounds too. Something the ia64 EFI boot console lets you do is use v and ^ as substitute cursor keys. Using v is a conflict with the current meaning "go to the next menu item named v". So that's out. What would people think to allowing the use of < and > to go to the next or previous item in the list instead? It's not quite as intuitive, but it at least requires no strange escape codes to be interpreted. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
