There must be, but I'm not familiar with it. Perhaps holding the o key at startup, IIRC, will bring up a graphical startup menu from which you can select OSX. > Secondly, I only seem able to use 1 mouse button.

Here's my sysctl.conf: # # /etc/sysctl.conf - Configuration file for setting system variables # See sysctl.conf (5) for information. # #kernel.domainname = example.com #net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=1 # 3-button mouse emulation # turn on emulation /dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1 # Send middle mouse button signal with the F11 key /dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 87 # Send right mouse button signal with the F12 key /dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 88 It works rather well, actually (this is a standard solution, not mine). I roll the mouse over something I want to click on with one hand, and use the other hand to hold the F12 key (for right-click). Then scroll the mouse down the menu and release the key. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
