"=" is shift+0 in this case, as grub defaults to german keyboard settings. __________________ Avoid the Gates of Hell. Use Linux A Penny for your Thoughts Formerly Known as qub333

If you're gonna put all the frills on the DVD including every application ever invented, a splashscreen wouldn't be a bad idea! Plus given that the default boot is into KDE I would have recommended an SVG wallpaper. The driving scene looks terrible when scaled, and anti-aliasing doesn't seem to be in place. I'm a big Knoppix fan. I'm glad he went DVD, but it just seems that most of the new packages are a bit trivial with not enough polish on the desktop side. Almost seems like any other Knoppix, only with a 4 GB download. The change to Plastik was welcome though on the windec side. I'm on it now.. I'll give it a little more time to settle. I'm impressed with Blender being on there but I'll have to dig out some more positive points. __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net
