The only chance to get it tested is: . commit it, . make keyboard probing the default, . so Jordan's next 3.0-SNAP will use it by default. Jordan should keep a hidden floppy image around for that SNAP, without keyboard probing. However, if your bootblock survived this test, we can assume it's safe to use keyboard probing by default. The bootblocks are nothing that's installed by a `make world', so only very few (interested) people will follow your request to test them. Thus, the only way to get it really tested is a SNAP. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
