Hello Hugo, That's interesting; I'll have to remember to add YMMV in future. I think the Ctrl-s and Ctrl-q bit might be in Paul Sheer's RUTE User's Tutorial and Exposition, but I'm not sure. I first saw it in a post on this list, from, I think, Colin Watson. The shift-Pgup bit might perhaps be from trial and error; I just know it works for me and assumed it probably would for others. Did you try Ctrl-Pgup as well? That sometimes works in consoles, if I remember right. Even Pgup on its own might be worth trying. FWIW I'm using Woody, with a 2.4.18-1-k6 kernel.
