Re: mice and kernel parms (was: 2.0.103 hang in some SCSI driver)

Re mice - I got it working and find it very useful.     Not too difficult in 
the end.     If anyone else is interested in using the mouse on a tomsrtbt I 
can append more details here.

Re kernel parms - thanks for the pointer to the lilo.conf in buildit.s - 
that worked.

My customized tomsrtbt now has 320 free sectors - what else shall I put on 
...
