I can not get the mouse. My mouse is on com1. I tried to create a tty00 device as suggested in "Configuring X for your hardware" section but MAKEDEV will not create tty00, so I create a /dev/mouse instead Whwne I tried to execute the "X or xinit" I get the error message " Too many levels of symbolic links" 2. How do I mouse the hard disk portion (Dos section) and my floppy drives (1.2Mb & 1.44Mb) on unix system. Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks Emmanuel cofie
