However FDISK appears to remain unresponsive to the keyboard ALT-F2 works fine (and the power button gives me th option of restarting sysinstall or aborting - impressive) but the actual process of deleting the current w2k partion simply has no response. Machine is an IBM thinkpad A20m with a british keyboard and 12Gb disk and 256Mb memory, the disk is partioned as 4 Gb NTFS and 8 extended FAT the behaviour is the same also from the custome install FDISK menu. Interestingly the arrow keys do move between the existing partions some of the time but not once either A or D is selected. Any clues would be helpful --kit -- whois -h whois.gandi.net KM78-GANDI To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
