It should default to Yes maybe. The thing is that USB mice are automagically handled by usbd and don't need configuring, only non-USB mice need handling. Jordan tried to fix the wording and instead broke the question horribly. (I think it may still be broken in stable.) Basically, if the user has a USB mouse they don't need to do anything, but if they have a non-USB mice, they need to run the moused setup. You could change the question to be something like "Do you have a serial or PS/2 mouse connected...?" maybe. -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
