Hi
Some weeks ago I installed Debian 4 R1 and had the following problems.
1. Mouse (Genius Netscroll 100) was extremely jerky
2. eth0 was used during installation but unusable after reboot, eth1 was
never touched during installation but was reconfigured as the default
interface on first reboot
Hi
I recently installed Debian 4.0R1 on my box. The installation process
really has improved. For the first time ever I didn't have to manually
setup X. Worked quite well. Some nice changes to the number of programs
installed by default. Good job.

usb-uhci #needed
usbcore #needed

input#necessary ???
HTH and is no
I first asked for help on Compuserve).
So for the time being I will leave the problem pending as it is, for all
I still have to do is create my own kernel and then I won't have to
change any boot sectors for a long time.
As soon as I know more, I will come back to this.
Thanks a lot

Maybe it would be a nice idea to include a big file sumarizing all the
changes in a eays to scan format. Espacially changed config tools and

But: I cannot connect using Linux, and it's not possible to do so under

idea.
