Hi there Keyboard is working, I also know that I can get to the shell, but the problem is, that somehow I am in an endless loop. X is coming up, black screen, terminal window then black screen again, and so on. I can not get to the shell. TIA. Nitai PS: I just saw that my email got trough two times with a different topic. I apologize for that. -- Redakto - Content Management that simply works Content Management & eBusiness Systems ComputerOil AG Dammstrasse 7 5400 Baden / Switzerland Telefon +41 (0)844 44 55 66 info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://computeroil.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Pete Nesbitt [mailto:pete@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Freitag, 19.
