Currently I have woody installed and I'm busy downloading Sid -- as soon as I got all 10 images I'm upgrading from Woody - Sid.

So I'm basically surrounded with water ;-). *snip* >For USB mice using a tuned modular kernel I have experimentally >determined that I need these modules: > modprobe hid > modprobe mousedev >Assuming that works then add them permanently to the /etc/modules >file.

I'll have to get back to you though.
