anyway thanks. debian seems alot different from what i expected after experience with yellowdog and linuxppc.
I thought I would pass along that I had solved the mouse problems.
When you mentioned input layer was where my problem was. I used the
steps that I had gone through when I updated my kernel in linuxppc to
include usb. I then got ppp figured out and started up. It appears I
have a DNS problem now. I am not looking for help on this yet. I
haven't tried to solve it yet so....
