Thanks to those who helped with my previous question. If you can
all tolerate a few more questions, it may help to flatten out this
steep learning curve.

I do read the howto's (until 3am the last couple of days), but must
still manage to miss things. :-(
I really thought that getting my microsoft bus mouse working would
de easy. There is even a howto specifically for busmouse if very easy
steps. HA!!

So far I have ...

        Read /usr/doc/faq/howto/Busmouse-HOWTO.gz
        Confirmed interupt on card is at IRQ 5
                as per /usr/src/linux-1.2.1/include/linux/busmouse.h

        cd /usr/src/linux
        make config  * Microsoft busmouse support [y]
        make dep     * no errors
        make clean   * no errors
        make zImage  * no errors
        cp zImage /vmlinuz
        reboot

The last line before login the says "gpm: /dev/mouse : No such device"

So what have I tried ?
        Yes, there is a /dev/@mouse  --> inportbm
        mknod /dev/inportbm c 10 2 * results in "file exists"
        selection -2 bm
        various gpm options
        booting to dos and making sure the mouse is ok

It seems to me that something is missing from /dev.
Why does Midnight Commander (which I would have been totaly lost without),
show the -inportbm file length as 0 ?

Thanks once again to those who help. Unfortunately I have a long way to
go because I want to get Waffle running under Linux. That means the
serial ports, and I am almost dreading that :-(

Regards to all... Owen
