In both cases, it is possible to switch to the std. console stuff by using Ctl-Alt-F1. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Chen | -insert-witty-quip-here- ------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
