In what you are citing, hardware switches and conflicts are to blame. Barring this LM8.x does a good job detecting the PSAUX port, though not always the mouse.
He has nothing like these conflicts AFAIK, (we have been at it for some time now...). -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: Bill Kenworthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 9:00 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: RE: [expert] Mandrake-Linux 8.1 installation problem | | |Actually it quite often does fail.
