at least you wont tax your 1337 skillz and have to compile it.

He doesn't have to compile a Linux kernel either, but at least he has the choice.

i think i got the options right this time though 😀

Yeah, it's kind of stupid that you have to reboot when you recompile the kernel. Oh well.

Don't worry, you'll have to do it a few times. I lucked out and only had to do it twice with FreeBSD 5 (on a Celery 333. Very slow).

If you have a dually system, and your current kernel is SMP capable, pass -j2 to make.

ouch! I'm lucky I have a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and a second box to pass the time with. 😀

FVCK YOU, /dev/input/mice
FVKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK :|
 
What does it say when it fails?
Also, you know you can just use modules to experiment, and then build them in later, right?
What does "ls -l /dev/input/mice" say?
 
/dev/input doesn't exist, let alone /dev/input/mice

for some reason though, i was able to get usb support working with modules (like it would recognize when i would plug and unplug my mouse, which it isn't doing now) but it never worked when i compiled straight into the kernel. if this doesn't work, i'll check usb mouse support in the bios and then try modules
 
Like I said, run "MAKEDEV input" and "MAKEDEV usb" in /dev.
Also, yes, I think you do need to enable USB mouse support in your BIOS.
 
MAKEDEV input
/usr/sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "input"
MAKEDEV mice
/usr/sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "mice"

Hmmm....

It's going to be hard to help you since I'm at work on a W2K system. You had path problems before, I'm sure this is somehow related.
