The problems that I was having with this a WHILE ago had to do with the
fact that I was using a cua device rather than a ttyS device. I don't know
why this must be, but if you are using a cua device switch to its ttyS
counterpart, and cross your fingers :)

Thanks to all who replied to this posting. I have now got the

To summarise :
Support for PS/2 mouse is not in the kernel on the standard Debian boot
disk, either built in or as a module. Thus, to use a PS/2 mouse one has
to obtain a kernel with the required support. The specia

For the last 24 hours I keep getting empty output from "ls" and "dir"

My guess it's some mis-configuration at these servers (aren't they the

on the other hand, most laptops with builtin mouse or trackball or

The DHCP extensions that are included in the bootp server that comes with
Debian appear to require you to enter all the host information. Is this true?
Are there any DHCP servers for Linux that dynamically assign IP addresses?
