hi,

I'm trying to get an old p133 desktop setup with a HD install of DSL 1.5. I'm having to use DSL1.5 syslinux since the regular version will not boot off my cdrom. If I boot anything other than the lowram option, my mouse (a PS/2) will not work in X. I'm trying to determine what exactly the lowram option does that the other options do not which allows the mouse to work. If anyone can provide the specific parameters I would appreciate it.

P.S. using a USB is not an option as the pc has not USB nor do I have a old serial mouse either.
