The problem is that this is the UltraSparc with USB keyboard and mouse
- it's only about three years old at most. If I use Woody, then the
chances are that that support was extremely bleeding edge when Woody
was released. I may just be one of the unlucky ones - but the number
of Sparc installs relative to Intel is small. The install manual seems
mainly based on an Intel-centric view, unfortunately :(
