sorry it took so long to reply, i ended up reformatting the box with slackware. best decision i've ever made. i am having trouble, however, with a brand new keyboard (purchased when a friend spilled beer on another one about a week ago) with the "/" key.

i can't edit important configuration files without being able to use /, since i'm using linux and whatnot, and my googling skills apparently are not up to par, because i can't find the "alt" + "asciicode" to get the symbol to appear. if anyone knows the numeric ascii code, or a resource where i could get a full list of such codes in case of further complications, it would be much appreciated.

**edit** apparently it's not the keyboard, found the ascii code and it doesn't work either, however "shift" + "/" gives a question mark symbol. slackware 9.1, no idea on the mobo, 266mhz proc, 64 mb ram
