Hi folks,

I just downloaded DSL and managed to make it boot from my pen drive, but I still encounter some problems in configuring my USB optical mouse (I get a "unknown device /dev/input/mice" at startup, even though the mouse red light turns on). I tried with mouseconfig but nothing happens. Maybe thats because I should be able to save the mouse settings and reboot somehow, but how can I do that? Whats the file I should include in .filetool.lst?

And, sorry for writing with bad punctuation but the second thing is, I cant configure my keyboard either (LOL). Its probably the same reason. So whats the name of the file containing keyboard settings so that I will be finally able to load it2 keyboard map?

Thanx and Happy New Year,
Outspan

Boot with "dsl xsetup" to configure your mouse and kb/keymap settings.
