Potato and Helix-Gnome - Solved!
Dear Debian list: Thanks for your responses! I finally solved the Potato and Helix-Gnome installation problem. I found that if I do NOT use the simple package choice in apt-get, but use the advanced instead, it works. I am able to use the Helix-Gnome CD with no problem. Except: There appears to be an IRQ conflict. My mouse hops all around the perimeter of the screen, with no useful connections on the menus. I have tried using XF86Setup to configure my PS/2 mouse to /dev/psaux. The mouse works fine in the X test setup - just not in Gnome! I will continue with the troubleshooting Thanks again! Robert

That's nice to hear! :-) Except: There appears to be an IRQ conflict. My mouse hops all around the perimeter of the screen, with no useful connections on the menus.

I will continue with the troubleshooting Proposal: Set your mouse device to /dev/mouse, I think that's the canonical way of doing it. Then check how gpm is doing, I've had a lot of trouble when I tried to use the raw device for the mouse ... Then again, for me there was some voodoo in it too, and Potato was unstable back then. HTH.
