However, the nano issues is just that -- a nano issue. A shell that runs debian on a 2.4.17 kernel but has a pretty recent nano has the same issue, I had to execute it with -wK. It's some Numpad glitch, I'm not sure what causes it. I get it on the console as well as on SSH. As for Gentoo's lack of functioning home/end keys, that's an enigma. I've kinda gotten used to it, and sometimes use ctrl-a or ctrl-e. Hopefully it'll be fixed one day. --Kumba Luke-Jr wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Why is it that it only occurs with Gentoo, then?
