Hey thanks!

this beats the record in response time for a mailing list!
I finally changed my XF86Config to look like
    Protocol    "busmouse"
    Device      "/dev/pms0"
and it now works great. And what I love most, the disk is not
all the time doing noises, not like in my previous version
of linux.

Regarding the partitioning, the rest of the disk has nothing
useful. It has a primary ext2fs partition, a linux swap partition and
an extended ext2fs partition. I succeeded in mounting them all, but
sometimes I got error messages about certain directories being bogus
entries and even some kernel crash. Since I am not installing linux on
this machine any more I thought that removing those partitions would
be the best thing.

My idea was to use fdisk to dedicate the rest of the dist to a BSD
partition and then use disklabel to divide this partition into a 1MB
wd0f for /usr/pkg and /usr/local plus a 1MB for /home. That leaves the
core of NetBSD in a partition and all the junk in the rest. What I am
not sure is that I could actually do this, or that that is the right
way to.

In any case thanks a lot to you all for solving my mice problems. This
weekend I am going back to Spain with a BSD in my laptop. I hope that
is not a thing to declare in the border ;)

	Juanjo
