We received our Lnx-BBC package today and it is oh soooooo cool! Kudos on the 
design (both the distro and the outside graphics). It's very easy to use with 
the included help guide and I want to thank everyone associated with the 
project for it and for sending us some. We're going to give them to our LUG 
volunteers and as giveaways.

I have one comment and that's that the USB mouse support doesn't work in X by  
following the instructions in the help guide. It does work fine in gpm 
however. The way I got it to work in X was to delete the /dev/mouse symlink 
which was pointing to /dev/psaux and make a new symlink to /dev/input/mice 
(as the help guide suggests for the gpm.conf file) and then it works fine. 
You guys may already know about this, but just in case it was missed, I 
wanted to pass on the info. If you have any questions about my system 
specifics, feel free to email me.

Thanks again!
