Re: I did not get any reply, so I must have done something wrong, Is this issue solved?

Hello,
I have decided to return back to debian sarge,
I reported this :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/04/msg00127.html
Specify the ZIP drive filesystem type (ext3, msdos, etc). It's probably
not ext2 because I think that's the default and it would have worked.
After that I rember I ran some Tex and latex applications,
I did use aptitude, dselect and taskselect,
everything from the ftp server sunsite informatik
Finally the mouse froze. I can't move it.
Both a frozen mouse and no access to my USB or ZIP drive must be a
user error.
Do you see a connection between the two problems? It's not obvious
to me.
I never had USB or SCSI support, but the first installation had no
problems with
moving the mouse.
I have seen that sarge now is stable,
I can try to use knoppix in order to back up some of the important files,
then wipe it off and go for another install with the latest stable
release.
This is Debian, not Windoze where minor problems require reinstalling your OS.
Since my problem is not reported to be a problem I believe it must be a
user error.
Any comments would be appreciated,
My mouse is a ps2,
Make sure that's specified in /etc/gpm.conf and /etc/X11/XFConfig-4. It's
possible these got overwritten during an upgrade. Also make sure the ps2 mouse
driver or module is installed. Here's one way to check, and my own results:
$ zcat /proc/config.gz |grep PS2
# CONFIG_SERIO_PCIPS2 is not set
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y <----this will be "=m" if you use modules
Best regards
