can you include the "Pointer" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config > I have a Microsoft Intellimouse on a PS/2 > port.

Thank you. if you installed from cd, you can use apt: apt-cache search <string> to search for a program/packagename apt-get install <packagename> to install it. as for vi itshould be there, if its not something is wrong, i think its part of the base as there is no package for /usr/bin/vi. did you have any trouble installing the base packages ? nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
