Note that the NEW moused won't work with the OLD kernel. 

To summerize:

1. If you have rebuilt the kernel, but haven't made world, your 
system should continue working as before.

2. If you have done `make world' first, then you must rebuild the
kernel AFTER `make world'.

3. If you have rebuilt the kernel first, but haven't made world, 
mouse stuff will NOT work. Rebuild the kernel AFTER `make world'.

Thank you.
