Hello I am a newbie to Linux, but not to the *NIX world. I allways tried Debian distros. But I had no time to go too far. Now I installed woody ( bf2.4 ). All went ok exception of
1) My Debian box has a generic two button serial mouse. Using some utility ( donīt remember which one ), the mouse is correctly seen as attached to /dev/ttyS0. Main parameters as shown by stty seems correct, by example baud rate is 1200. /dev/mouse is a symlink to /dev/ttyS0. When I configure XFree86, xf86config correctly guess what the mouse device is. But when X and KDE are up, I have no mouse response. Of course, I need to go to console mode. Is there a console mouse test and trouble-shooting utility ? Am I doing something wrong ? Am I missing something ? 2) at installation, I donīt remembered what the NIC card was, so I skipped over all net installation, exception, of course, the local loopback. Later, using lspci, I discovered what my Ethernet card is, and using modconf I could configure/start the correct driver. To test it, I configured manually the eth0 interface, and it works ok. I can ping my LAN machines, and also did some ftp transfers. But I donīt know how to: - add the eth0 ifconfig to the boot or init scripts - where and how ( route ? ) to set the gateway ( I am sharing my Net conn using a NAT server ) - where to put my ISP DNS address Could someone help ?
