The problem is that the psaux module wasn't available on the 11 June
installation disks (unless I goofed up somewhere in the installation).
In my case, the fix was simple, if rather long-winded. I obtained the
kernel 2.0.0.tar.gz sources, configured, built, and installed a new kernel
with PS/2 mouse support using the nifty kernel-package package (from
project/experimental).
Back to the installation issue . . . is there room on the root diskette
to include the psaux module? I doubt I'm the only Debian user with a
PS/2-style mouse. That one only thing I needed to add.
