There is not support for busmice in the standard boot disk kernel.
Try
# dmesg | grep -i mouse
to see if your mouse was detected by the installed kernel.
You will probably get no output, so you can confirm that the kernel
does not know about your mouse. Otherwise you should see the line

Hi,

I need to create a custom installation boot disk to install Debian on a
system at work. This is a custom server, with a SCSI main drive on an
Adaptec 2940UW controller. Once I get the main drive supported and the
base installed, I can finish it from there.
I've heard here that the custom kernels

Hi Marcus --
(From section 5.7 of the FAQ:)
"Debian-1.1.x, a.k.a. "stable" and "buzz-fixed": A copy of the the
current release with the updates applied. The minor number is changed
whenever new updates are added."
I'd agree that a search engine front end to the FAQ would be helpful.
Good luck,
Run the program xvidtune, tune your monitor to look like you want it to,
and then push the "Show" button. Copy the output from xvidtune to the
/etc/X11/XF86Config to replace the current settings for the adjusted
video modes.

Just curious. I need it, found an xcolors package that I cannot use (the
first reason being that I can't handle a window of 932x2246 on my 1152x900

Only if you want Ian Jackson to post a bug report against your
