ADB mouse on Mac 7200

2001-03-08 Thread Matthew Kirkwood
Hi, I'm now just a mouse and quik away from having (seemingly) everything working on my 7200. I must say, it has been a pleasure beginning to pick up Debian. I'm a little stuck trying to get the mouse working, though. gpmconfig won't offer ADB mice as an option, so I tried configuring it manual

Hi, Thanks to help from this list, I now have my Mac booting and starting the installer (via BootX). My next problem is that the kernel doesn't seem interested in recognising the partition table that I create on the disk. I followed Ethan Benson's instructions and partitioned the 4Gb disk that I
