hosed keymap - HELP

2001-10-15 Thread Paul Kimber
G'day, I just upgraded my kernel to 2.2.19 and while running "dpkg- reconfigure console-data" the machine froze, leaving me with a keymap that doesnt work with either kernel. Any suggestions on how to get back into this machine? (5500/225, 2.2r3, bootX 1.2.2) cheers, Paul __

6100's are nubus machines (pre PCI) and are not directly supported by any distro. If you want to run this machine go to http://nubus-pmac.sf.net Supports Debian, YDL, LinuxPPC, and MkLinux. I beleive the 6100 is one of the better supported machines. cheers, Paul Jesse Goerz said at Ò6100/60Ó. [14

Windoze file-sharing has never been part of the MacOS. You are thinking of either TCP file sharing (which has been round for a while) or a 3rd party product. cheers, Paul Andrew Sharp said at ÒRe: [OT] Network file sharingÓ. [13/Jul/01Fri 21:22] > Ethan Benson wrote: > > > > On Fri, Jul 13, 200

Dont worry bout that one. The debian install on nubus has 4 or 5 steps that will not work (PCMCIA, boot from disk, rescue floppy, etc). Just scroll to the next step and keep on going, then reboot when needed. paul BTW you can put the modules in later if you need to. Matias Duh said at ÒDebian
