Hi all, Keith, try bringing up a second or third or fourth console by using the alt-function keys. When you log in, you're sitting in console one. Type alt-f2 and you'll be asked to login again. Bing, another console. Typing alt-f3 gets you another console. I think you have six of them in RH not sure. Ann P. -- Ann K.
