Hello!
The cdrom finally mounts! Thanks Bruce! But... believe it or not, what
actually worked was when I accidentally typed: mount sonycd /cdrom!?!?!
ls /dev/sonycd still comes up empty, but the cdrom works. Im sure this
is probably bad, but I was so happy it finally worked I didnt want to
question it.
So I went ahead and used dselect to install a number of packages,
including the ones for X windows (was I bad?). I was able to find all the
information for the monitor, video card, etc. and the Xf86config seemed to go
fine. But now the xserver cant find the mouse! I got the final error
messages at the end after typing
startx (the rest of the messages are given further below):
System: `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -
R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m us -em1 The XKEYBOARD keymap
compiler (xkbcomp) reports: -emp -eml Errors from xkbcomp

Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory)
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
When I looked for /dev/mouse (or just plain mouse) with ls
no such file was found, and MAKEDEV gives the message dont know
how to make device mouse. The mouse itself is nothing special
just a microsoft standard serial mouse. :-(
Is there an additional package or file I need to install, or
do you think this has to do with my cdrom problem?
Thanks for all your patient help :-)
Best Wishes,
Manu
