The relation +has not been mentioned in the errata. + +As I wrote in my first mail I am not really against this change if +there is a reason. There seems to be a reason (as you say), so it's +ok. But still I think all open questions (especially the one about the +situation of a crashing or failing x server) need to be addressed +before the change is made in cauldron to be tested by a broader +userbase. And I still think it needs to be announced all over the +place when the change will be implemented. + +About the question how hard it is to press another key: not hard. But +the Ctrl-Alt-F1 has been a standard in ALL distributions and ALL +documentations (even in the generic books about "Learning Linux"), a +standard like the SAA menue standard ("File" on the left, "Help" on +the right) or the "F1 opens Help" standard. Therefore changing this is +a bit more than usual changes between versions. + +-- +wobo +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="010560.html">[Mageia-dev] ANN: X11 now starts on tty1 +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="010563.html">[Mageia-dev] ANN: X11 now starts on tty1 +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#10561">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#10561">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#10561">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#10561">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
