Sorry Sean.. I was experimenting with the apt-get build stuff. I know how to build by hand. At least some easy stuff. But I've had to stop tinkering now and get some work done. I sunk about a week into this, 7 installs hours and hours of editing etc. And am no closer to a working setup. In fact further. In my last two attempts I get no mouse in X either. Even using the same config files. I am actually taking some classes and my home work is piling up. Finals are next week. I have to put this down. Thank you for your help and I kept lots of the posts from the list. At this point my feeling is that its just too labor intensive. I want to spend some time programming and studing too. I've written hundreds, probably thousands of lines of reports complaints etc. Received piles of helpful replies. And still no stable sytem in working order.
