To follow up on Mitchell's comments, you probably should install the "2.6" kernel. Try this: # apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-386 (Hopefully, this will alter GRUB for you. If not, another learning experience!) Once you reboot into the 2.6 kernel, install udev. This package allows you to write rules of action for each kind of device that you define. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.

And they wonder why people think public schools suck...
