Howdy all,

First off thanx for that mouse support, after using '/dev/psaux' as the
device the mouse worked fine and x was up and running quickly.....thanx

now, i have a couple more questions......

i have some .deb packkages and cant seem to install them because i get the
following error when i run dpkg -i filename.deb;

dpkg: parse error, in file/'var/lib/dpkg/updates/0024' near line 1:
newline in field name '#padding"

i have no idea what this is.......any clues on how to fix it???

all that file contains is a number of '#padding" each on one line like
this ;

#padding
#padding
#padding
#padding
#padding

......


Also how do i make fvwm2  my default windows manager and how do i add
programs to my menus.....or where do i find documentation on how to
customize X.......

one last thing....how do i force my machine to start up to the x windows
login box......thanx in advanced.


jd?
