Just a guess: you disabled sc0 in the kernel config screen, since it conflicts with your mouse. Try again and leave the conflict alone. sc0, of course, is the console, and disabling has just the effect you describe. This is poorly documented, although it has been noted, I believe for the next release, or at least a FAQ item. dave -- http://www.microsoft.com/security: `Microsoft Windows NT Server is the most secure network operating system available.'
