I have knoppix installed on HD
When I do contgrol alt F1 or F2, my entire screen has lines like "IN=ETH0 out=....... mac=..... " , they keep scrolling up the screen and I can't type anything.
I think it was my firestarter firewall , which i believe I deleted already.
What's wrong?
Thanks

tried ctrl-C? there must be some error which causes these messages, I dunno what it is... I'd google the error msg...
btw you have a normal debian distro now, you should seek help somewhere else ;)

==You shouldn't tell him to go somewhere else, he installed off a Knoppix CD and should reasonably expect a response here if someone knows the answer. However, posting in the hd-installed forum would be a better place. :oops:
@ Newbie - do a ' ps ax ' and see if firestarter is still running - if it is, you can issue a ' killall firestarter '. Otherwise it almost looks like a tcpdump... To get around all the error msgs, you may have to issue it from an X terminal, and use sudo.

Hi,
this are syslog messages. To change it once:
dmesg -n 2
To change it permanently after next reboot:
echo kernel/printk = 2 4 1 7 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p
This changes the log level to crit(2) and you will see only critical errors on the screen.
Ciao Martin
