Right, yes. While the archives go back some way, on checking it seems
that the thread I was referring to has yet to be archived. (There is
some discussion on the topic in debian-user-9505.) The smiley was
referring to the sheer length and breadth of discussion (read:
occasional irrelevance) of the thread.

Hm, fine. I have fire-retardant skin anyway.

Well, actually it doesn't matter because SMTP doesn't recognise case as
special. The arbitrary capitalisation is merely the irritating
preferences of our mail administrator.

Hope you resolve the problem.

I had this problem some time ago, but I thought the kernel image has
been updated to include this. Did you use an old package or download a
new one? If it's old you'll have to recompile the kernel with explicit
support.

BTW, if you look in the archives, you should find _tons_ on this topic.

PS/2 Mouse Driver in Debian 1.1 2.0.0

1996-09-13 Thread Gerd Bavendiek
Hi,

I just installed Debian 1.1 on a system with a PS/2
Mouse. Unfortunately I'm missing
/lib/modules/2.0.0/misc/psaux.o. There is a descriptive file in
/usr/lib/module-help/modules/psaux. Additionally I took
kernel-image-2.0.0-0.deb and kernel-image-2.0.6_2.0.6-0.deb. But there is
no psaux.o in this packages - so I can't use my mouse :-(

Maybe it has been asked before - but I have been away for months.

Any hints ?
