kewl, pls :)

so, still to fix:
mouse scroll wheel
fonts
tweak of the PS1 thing.... :( at the mo PS1="[\\u@\\h:\\w]\\$ " looks right, exceps that it shows the entire path rather than the directory it shows (eg) [root@gentoo:/usr/src]# but i would prefer [root@gentoo:src]# if thats possible.
sound
uh... i'm sure i'll find more stuff :)

then i'll have you all scratching your heads later when i need to make my sendmail server accessible via POP3 :D

OK lets sort out the mouse. Theres a proggy which displays mouse buttons. Can't remember whats it's called though but will help to see if X is detecting you buttons. I'll try to find out what it's called :) Oh yeah while I'm looking post up you XF86Config ... just the Mouse section :)

woohoo! i got sound working!!!
i "built in" sound card support rather than having it as a module, and included AC 97 support (i think) but its working :) so i'm happy

now... XF86Config...
Code:
#**********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
#**********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux
    Option "Button" "5"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Resolution" "2000"

is this the right line to add to /etc/fstab to mount my windows partition (/dev/hda1) as /mnt/win?
Code:
# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>          
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1               /mnt/win        vfat            defaults

yeah that should work.

On your other drives which don't mount automatically like the cdrom and floppy, if you add users on the end like:
Code:
noauto,ro,users
This will allow normal users to mount the drive. Rather than only superuser :)

There's a fluxbox patch to give you AA fonts, I have it pre-applied/compiled onto the flux source tree if you want it.

I'm not sure how to get Moz/Phoenix to use them as I don't use either, but the fluxbox desktop does fine, on my laptop.
