Debian, the multi kernel/multi arch distribution. I like the sound of
that.

I don't need hurd right now. but when I'm going to make some programs
my self it would be nice not to use any linuxism. (Instead I will be
using gnuisms)

And by that time hurd will fille my spare 1/2 Gb which is now used by
the OS of whom shall not be spoken. And it would be nice to work on a
packages system I already knows.

Keyboard dies when using xdm

[Peter Makholm]

I have a problem booting directly into X with xdm. I told the
instalation script to boot into xdm. By hand I removed runlevel 2
from xdms entry in runlevel.conf.

The problem is that when I boot into runlevel 3, the keyboard dies.

It works when I first boot into runlevel 2 and then as root writes
init 3. It also works when I change xdms priority to 90 in
runlevel.conf. (Not very nice)

The only other difference that I can see is taht it writes: Couldn't
locate module char-major-6 in the xconsole.

I belive that char-major-6 is /dev/lprX. I have not any printers on
this box.
