No problem. on the more recent live CDs GPM runs automatically. You select the text you want as usual (holding down the right mouse button or shifting and use the arrow keys). To paste into your other tty you normally click the middle button in linux (If you don't have a middle button then click both at once!) If you just move the mouse about - do you have a white block cursor that moves around too? When you booted into the live CD didn't it ask you for your keyboard layout? The newer ones do... Are you using a UK keyboard (I guess by the time you must be in europe somewhere, or perhaps Australasia?) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
