I tried to make my mo use working under X but I can not. This is Logitech M-S48a PS/2 mouse. It works great under gpm, but doesn't want even to move in X. I selected PS/2 as a mouse protocol and /dev/psaux for device (it works for gpm). What can I do now?

At startup
Hello!
I followed instructions on this page:
[http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue27/kaszeta.html]
so I had to copy file xterm to /etc/init.d/ and run 'update-rc.d xterm
defaults 99'.
So next time it shuld connext to XDM server at boot time.
But it didn't.
At startup it wrote this:
/etc/init.d/rc: /etc/rc2.d/S99xterm: Permision denied
And then prompt
Login:
Here is what is writen in xterm file:

So, why is permision denied? I copied it by root.

Ethernet
Hello! I installed Debian2.2 on 486 machine. I installed base system from floppies(11 floppies). The problem is that I can't ping other IP. I can ping only my IP(IP of this machine) but not others. What am I doing wrong? route shows IP of gateway, ifconfig shows my IP. But anyway it doesn't work! Thanks! Bye, Ales
Keyboard
Hello! I installed Debian 2.2 on 486. After reboot the keyboard started to act strangelly - When you tiped one a it wrote aa, multiple letters, sometimes it didn't write even a letter. At the end it stopped working. At start I can push Del buton to get into BIOS, but ones that Linux loades, the keyboard is death. So, how to deal with this problem? At startup Linux says: AT Keyboard not connected or AT no Keyboard or something like this. On Debian is only Base System from 11 floppyes installed. Tahat is maybe also because I might defined devices that are not installed(hardware), so there was written that in that case linux might not respond. How to delite modules? There are some modules for PCMCIA, and on startups it shows that that device wasn't find. There is another problem too: I can ping localhost and IP of this computer that I defined in /etc/network/interfaces, but I can't ping other computers on the net. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

I've installed, and happily run, potato on a 486 with 8M of RAM (an old notebook, for which a ram upgrade is difficult). It works, but I hope you're a very patient man to survive the install. I have some old 386 30Mhz, 486 100Mhz machines with 4 MB of RAM and 50 - 100 MB of HDD with ethernet card, on which I would like to run Linux with X server (for X terminals). I know that that is difficult, but I have fast ethernet, so for HDD, the NFS would be a solution. But I also think that installing an older version of Debian would be much better (because I think that older versions of programs require less memory and CPU than newer versions), but I don't know if that is possible. Can I install perhaps Debian 1.0 by dselect from net? So, I would put InstallFloppy in,run computer, then run dselect (or apt-get) and instal Debian - is that realistic? Well, I hope it is. Any links about setting up X terminals? Thank you for all! Bye, Ales Jerman
Mouse
Hello! I have one question. How to set mouse as serial device and not as PS/2 device? Because on the startup it shows that mouse is connected to PS/2, but it is not. So, where to change it? Bye, Ales Jerman from Slovenia
