One area to start with I decided is the keyboard warning at boot. I have 5 headless/keyboardless boxes and wish the kernel to stop reporting I have no keyboard at boot(I KNOW!!). I finally located where kb gets initialized. Is it this simple just to undef this in /include/linux/pc_keyb.h #define KBD_REPORT_TIMEOUTS /* Report keyboard timeouts */ I have read code through, and it appears the right thing to do (and it's so simple I am in doubt it is this easy), but I am loath to try it in case the box doesn't come up and I will have to fart around getting out monitor and kb and move my sofa for access and stuff... Thanks for any help. Nick -- "When you're chewing on life's gristle, Don't grumble, Give a whistle..."
