But since we changed many of the servers in our company to FreeBSD I have had a rather serious error while doing administrative work. The consolemode programs (Why don't they all just have a GUI? argh :-) ask me to press some Annykey to continue installation. But I can't find this function key anywhere on my keyboard! Most of these now-BSD boxes still have Windows keyboards, so I assume that this is the problem..., but it seems braindamaged to me that FreeBSD wouldn't function just because of such a trivial thing. So far (since I don't want to risk messing our business servers up!) I have been forced to press Reset, and some of the users have been complaining recently, so I really need to sort this out. Are there ms-keyboard patches that provide Annykey compatibility, and if not, will FreeBSD support this properly in the future? Sincerely, Arne R. Muhsson. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
