The behavior in the last install is as it should be and the 2.4.27-sparc64 kernel should install the 2.4.27-2-sparc64 kernel... Without the logs of the original install, I'm afraid we won't be able to track this down (unless you can reproduce this). > The only other problem after that was my mouse with X, > which autodetected to /dev/input/mouse - I have the > Sun Mouse Keyboard in which the mouse plugs into the > keyboard.

That may well be standard for an U5 with the 2.4 kernel. IIRC for my U10 PS/2 instead of ImPS/2 also works. > Aptitude works well, but when installing a package > after download, and it leaves the ncurses built > screen, it doesn't clear the terminal, which creates > garbage looking output.

You could try asking on the debian-sparc or debian-user mail lists. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
