Dear friends:
Just take a look! Linux is confused by the Mozilla version numbers. It thinks
that mozilla-0.8-2 (i.e. 0.8, the version released on Feb. 17) is newer than
mozilla-0.8.1 (the version recently issued on March 26). How is this

Josh,
Check a couple of things.
Do you have usb service starting at boot?
In /etc/sysconfig/usb do you have an entry VISOR=yes
In /etc/modules.conf do you have the following entries:
alias usb-interface usb-uhci (this is for intel chipsets, ali has usb-ohci I
think)
post-install usb-uhci
could this be a problem with windows encrypted password? one set (win 9x
default I believe) set to encrypt the password to linux and the other
passing the password "in the clear" so to speak?
