There is no configuration required on the systems supported by those servers. The default X servers for other sparc machines (such as my matrox64) assume that /dev/mouse is valid. I don't see why it shouldn't be. It is valid for x86, right? >> 2) /etc/rc.boot/0setserial croaked with "Cannot autoconfigure port: >> Invalid argument" -- extremely minor, as those serial ports are not >> likely to be used for anything.

Again, my vote is wishlist (or normal) bug Enrique> against setserial. Correct, not a boot-floppies bug. I say at least a normal bug. Sparc is important as x86 (or should be). I'll make sure the bug is there.... -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
