Once with Mandrake, which I then upgraded with subsequent releases to Mandriva. At that point, there was massive failure, so I installed Debian and worked with that for a few years, until the hardware got left behind and the system ran too slow. Then bought current hardware and installed Debian testing 64 bit. The point being that I never witnessed a keyboard become unrecognised in my, admittedly limited, experience. As you said; Crazy. :-/ -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Keep your drink just give em the money U & Ur Hand - P!nk
