Sony PCG-Z505FA troubles

[peter_wallis <peter_wallis@telstra.com>]

I'm an idiot.
it was asking for a _device_ not a drive.  I was thinking it knows where the cd is now; what is the problem?  I am not the  only one  who got confused however...

Tools I'd like:
 - to confidently use someone elses config file and know how that affects the install process and visa versa.  Advice on the web is lots to do with editing these things, and I suspect I have created a bowl of spagetti.

 - a way of seeing what modules are on the cd(s)

 - how about a test routine for mice?  - prints out xy cordinates of the cursor if your X11 config stuf is going to work with the hardware you've got
