Too bad the project team lied in their explaination. There is no way that using '"screen" or a window system' aids you, when you find that your window system has locked up on your console, and you need to switch to a secondary VT on your non-networked system, to unstick it :-( but it would be nice to see this reimplemented nicely, so that both x86 and sparc would benefit from it. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
