Ok. Now that I know what it is, it's funny. (You should have seen my friend's eyes when I said "Guck mal ! Da schwimmt 'n Fisch über meinen Bildschirm !" (="look, there's a fish swimming across my screen" :-)))
If the rest did not happen (>20 fsck errors...)
After it stopped halfway between the upper-left corner and the center of the Screen, my system hang. Only the mouse was moveable, but no Keyboard Functions worked (no CTRL-ALT-F1, no CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, no CTRL-ALT-DELETE). As I was not at home, I had no other computer available to telnet, so I was forced to push the "reboot-and-do-fsck" button...Nasty. I've never heard of the easter egg causing that. Most likely some other problem that just happened to crop up as the fish was swimming by. Craig
Is ist possible t deactivate it ? (Maybe I should ask the easter bunny ?!?) Merry Cristmas (and happy Easter...) Martin
