[nycbug-talk] those pesky error messages

[Joshua S. Freeman]

Thanks Scott,

You are correct, in his reply to my post, Jesse Callaway suggested hitting
shift-F2, etc... which I interpreted to mean "alt-F2", etc. which enables
you to switch between virtual terminals.

I was switching between all the terminals (all 7 of them) but was unable to
see anything looked like a debug screen..

:-(

Hopefully you're correct in your prediction.  I'm quite enjoying FreeBSD...
it's hard for me to describe but it definitely seems to have a more
'serious' or 'grave' mein than Linux...

cheers,


J.
