Under some condition the key board will lock (I.e, the system will cease to listen to key board commands - can't switch to virtual consoles for example) but I can still use the mouse to cut and paste. It seems to happen under heavy ppp usage (esp when running tin -r). I don't know if this is a kernel problem, X problem or window manager problem (I run ctwm). 2) I was trying to copy a file from a cdrom directly to the floppy drive - I had formatted the floppy with the format command (turned out this was a preformatted 720K floppy). Anyways, the access light went on the floppy but after some period of time it was obvious data was not being written so I ejected the floppy. Upon ejection of the floppy the machine paused for a second then rebooted. The system is an ASUS P-100 with NCR scsi controller. Er the mother board is a p54tp4. Responses should be sent to atk@cs.colorado.edu - a reply will probably not work. alan
