hmm... managed to delete all of my debian laptop emails while mucking
about with mozilla..!
anyway, to continue for those that may be following this thread.
when compiling the kernel should I move/delete the existing modules from
/lib/modules/2.4.22?
if i enter modconf on my latest compile no usbmouse shows up, however if
i lsmod it appears. I am still not sure if this is the problem as my
kernel 2.4.18 (bf24) has this module loaded and the mouse works, but I
am willing to try anything at this stage!
