Hi all I'm just getting started with Linux, and I've had several goes at installing the Debian 2.0 distribution. I'm getting tanatalisingly close to a working X-Windows installation - much video card clicking and flashing - but it objects to a line in the XF86Config file which says '/dev/mouse'.
I have a Compaq Deskpro with a mini-din-type mouse socket; W95 reports it as a PS/2 Port Mouse. So my question is - what should the line read? Not ttySanything? I've read the README.mouse document, but that seems more interested in protocols than devices; it keeps saying something like '/dev/xxx, where xxx is the name of the device'. But what *is* the name? As an aside, if I retrieve the whole Debian thing as a .raw file, to an NT machine, how can I write it to a CD? (I have a CD Writer, obviously!) Many thanks John Midgley
