Don't do that. :) Incidentally, you don't want to do that when X is starting-up, either... :) You can use send-pr to suggest that Alt-F1 (& friends) be disallowed while X is starting/quiting. > 4) The manual page for assert(3) should have an "ANSI standard" footer :) > I've told you about this one before BTW :) Utilise le send-pr. :) Check to make sure the bug hasn't been fixed in -current, first, though... > Other than that, everything seems OK so far.

I haven't got a web-browser at the moment BTW. http://www.freebsd.org/ports (lists FreeBSD-current ports) ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-2.2.1 (or something like that) A nifty X package-management tool, called pib (I believe). You'll need the `ports' distribution installed. > I can't make ncurses work. I press delete and it segfaults. [badly and shortly paraphrased. :] Doesn't duplicate here (FreeBSD 2.2.2). Try and make a small test/example program and use send-pr. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
