Hi. I realised I forgot the version after I mailed. Im speaking about FreeBSD 4.11. Also by blowing the machine up, what exactly do you mean? You end up blowing the motherboard? Or the keyboard? Or specifically what?

What version of FreeBSD are you running? This hasn't been the case by default for ages. As a warning, PS2 keyboards are not electricaly designed to be hotplug so you may blow your machine up by doing this (says someone who does it all the time). -- Brooks _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
