Re: [newbie] Space problem - help!
Thanks Denis, I should have come up with that myself but I somehow thought there must be another way to do this.

[newbie] still Mouse problem (7.0)
My serial mouse still doesn't work although I put this patch on the
boot disk. (Maybe something went wrong; the system still recognizes
the PS2 mouse.) However: I already installed 7.0 ("recommended"), and
I can login in text mode. So once in Linux, there must be an obvious
(and principled) way to tell the system the few things that are in
that patch file. (Please consider this has to work in TEXTMODE.) I've
seen some hints in the expert mailing list on creating symbolic links
manually and tried them, but first this didn't work, and second its
not the recommended procedure anyway. So what to do next?
