Re: Help with Installation...

Success ! Thanks to all who have spent time helping me out. I'm sure that if I had given you the right information from the start, we would've resolved this a while ago. Sure enough, linking /dev/mouse to /dev/psaux was incorrect !! As John pointed out, I really have a serial mouse. When linkin

Re: linuxconf problems

Also, AFAIK... the linuxconf distributed in Potato states clearly that some things in it work on Debian and some don't in the README.Debian file... You may want to look at that before continuing to use it. Linuxconf is worthless, anyway. Learn to config the box the correct way. :) On Fri, Sep
