In the bottom left hand corner there is "boot:". The rest is art work, not information. The Knoppix 'cheat sheets' give syntatically valid cheats, but little or no explanation of what kind of misbehavior would indicate the use of a particular cheat. I find myself with a misbehaving computer. I can't simply accept whatever happens as being right and proper behavior. I'm looking for some idea of the sequence of events that should happen on a fully functional computer so that I can catch when things start to go bad. I've started using Knoppix on a different computer that is in working condition and discovering some of the answers to my questions. It is slow work, but 'educational'. I think I'll be at this for a while. Peace. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
