You should not need to reinstall. That is for other OSs. ;-) On the USB stuff - did you compile all the usb support as modules or into the kernel? If not, you may be able to just rebuild your kernel.
Try this: cat /usr/src/linux/.config | \ grep -i usb | \ grep -v "# CONFIG" You should see something like this: # USB support CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y # USB Serial Converter support If not, try running 'make menuconfig' to enable USB, rebuild the kernel (per the install instructions).

But, I have never, no matter how many times I have followed the instructions implicitly, been able to get my USB mouse and keyboard to work properly and have never been able to get my ATI 9100 to use 3D acceleration. However, during the install process when I boot from the LiveCD, everything works perfectly...my USB devices are detected properly and work as they should. I guess my question(s) is (are), is there a way to copy that LiveCD environment to my working system? Or if I wipe everything out and do yet another stage1 install (after doing it a gazillion times, whats another time going to hurt?), is it possible to copy the settings to the new install? Or at the very least, once I have booted the LiveCD, where would I look to see how it set up the USB components? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
