is there a reason why the Slink install defaults the mouse to /dev/ttyS0 ? when I
installed Debian the first few times (yes...on the same machine) I went right by the
"is this OK" line and the mouse was linked /dev/ttyS0, subsequently wvdial tried to
put the modem there as well, which obviously didn't work . I thought it was a problem
with my MOBO (Tyan S1854), I fixed it manually, but, did I circumvent the original
intent of the install/developer ?
