Re: After install, keyboard and mouse are inoperative

Some error in LILO's configuration so that the wrong kernel is associated with the wrong system could do that. Can you post /etc/fstab, /etc/lilo.conf as well as the output of fdisk -l ?

Re: Wine Bricked My Laptop!

I had that problem with another beverage a few years ago. I endeavored to pick the laptop's keyboard apart and clean every single key... but it never was quite the same and always played up since then. Rebooting randomly etc... let's hope you will be luckier.

Re: Which program will do a backup and restore? Solved.

Powering off a frozen machine usually results in corrupt data and an unbootable system. Thankfully it can usually be fixed with fsck executed from a Live CD.

Re: strange characters on command line

As Gapan suggested, did you try creating a new user? and try reproducing this problem from a standard setup?

Re: Task Coach 1.3.24

Actually I'm quite unfamiliar with zim. I did not realize it could be used for tasks, I thought it was mainly for notes.

Taskcoach organise tasks (within tasks if you wish) with deadlines, importance, context etc... I was using it with a loose GTD system before I switched to ToodleDo online.
