This file doesn't exist on my system (not even the directory "admin-guide"). I can find it under: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt But in my case I even had no access to any file, because no command was working anymore. So I think it is better to have these information on a good old sheet of paper. ;-) -- Regards wabe
