give sample code as to what your trying to execute on those .shtml files. I use similar settings in apache 1.3.9 (self compiled) with SSI and it works fine. you may also have to add access to type Includes to access.conf. example: Directory /users/virtual/aphroland.org/ AllowOverride

Very simple. Get the COM port where the mouse is from Windows. Then just follow a simple formula : Com1=/dev/ttyS0, Com2=/dev/ttyS1 and so on. That is the serial port that you put in when xf86config asks you for mouse port. For protocol you select Microsoft Serial (or something like that, it's #1

Phil, You don't need to install any glibc2.1 packages to run kernel 2.2 - I'm doing it right now. You just need to update some programs as per the kernel documentation (best by compiling from scratch, imo). Yup, you're right. I didn't explain myself clearly enough. I have
