I suppose you were joking, but in all seriousness, why does _Debian_
need to add them? Let the site administrator do it, using 'equivs'.

One comment. Using repeat_type=raw is the *wrong* thing to do. Yes,
it works in some cases, but not all cases. The officially recommended
solution: tell gpm to export repeat_type=ms3, and tell X to use device

Well, you could hack something together with netcat, but that has about
as much point as using a screwdriver as a chisel. inetd is the right
tool for the job.

The alternate solution is for the kernel to disable /dev/psaux
emulation. Herbert Xu did this

Nope, /dev/input/mouse is still the emulated Intellimouse Explorer

You can also get mouse packets via /dev/input/event, if you loa

Well, IPv6 makes IPsec mandatory, whereas in IPv4 of course it's
optional. But AFAIK, that's the only major security difference between
the two.

There are different things you can do, yeah. Assuming of course that

course.

In that case, when you update to the 2.6 kernel, you should consider
using the 'cifs' filesystem rather than 'smbfs'. That way you get more
unixy features, like accurate representation

That's i810_audio, as you noticed in your old module list. The

Yes, the module layout has changed with kernel 2.4. And yes, this does
break older versions of modutils

With kernel 2.4, it's just a matter of editing /etc/modutils/aliases
and adding or changing the line for 'net-pf-10':
alias net-pf-10 off
and then of course run 'update-modules'. I think you can do the
