Hi Simon, Well I got NFS working which I'm happy about. A bit of Googling gave me what I needed to know :) So now desktop and laptop both talk to each other in NFS and in Samba (needed as the desktop dual-boots Windows XP). Sad but necessary until I get a workable solution to the printer issue. So that's 1 down, 3 to go. Unfortunatelly the trackpad still is not playing :( I tried selecting "PS/2" instead of "IMPS/2" as you suggested. No error about not liking it, but the trackpad still doesn`t react at all TallPaul, you mentioned selecting psaux during the installation. Seeing as I only put Mandrake on the laptop yesterday, reinstalling would not be *too* troublesome. How did you select it, as I don't recall seeing it as an option? Kind regards, Julian On Sat, 2004-06-12 at 03:28, Simon Waters wrote:

Could | you (or anyone) put that into English for me please? It is just saying you may need to use the "mknod" command to make some device files (files in /dev) by the sound of it. Problem with mknod is the command is specific to the driver so you'll have to read the documentation to find out which "mknod" commands to type. I would persist with the PS/2 route myself - I got the PS/2 support working before trying out specific synaptic support, but that is based on limited experience on other hardware. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Debian - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAyrCrGFXfHI9FVgYRAmEIAJ9Q1iwVH1NEu9m3NdKBA72t8Zb++ACgzqo/ hW8GxKKJA8+QIk1YE58ez6Q= =3znm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
