[LUG] keyboard and cat problem

 

OK this isn't really a linux problem, but...

I'd just installed the final version of PClinuxOS on my laptop and had 
left it in SU mode to access the configuration screens.

Comming back later I found the cat on the keyboard (trying to install 
apache from the set up a server option). Her kip and dance on the 
keyboard has pressed some key combination which has the result of when I 
bring up the log in root dialog it won't accept any input.

It works when I use it with a live disc. I have tried re-installing the 
OS and removing the battery and power - no joy. I know num lock does 
weird things on laptops and have tried that also.

Any ideas anyone?
