Re: mknod problem
~ # lsmod | grep mouse
doesn't show any matches, but something must have changed since
sarge-netinst because grep fails also there, but the "cat" command
against a fresh mknod-created "/dev/psaux" worked (I just verified that)
I tried the same set of commands on "/dev/input/mice" but it fail with
it as well.
Any ideas?
