The first time you log in, you will be asked some questions about your hardware configuration. If you want to change your answer to any of these questions later on, you can always log in as root and run this program again by typing

First login, so running hardware setup script
Please choose a mouse type.
1) Microsoft 3) MouseSystems 5) BusMouse 7) Mouseman
2) Logitech 4) PS/2 6) MMSeries
#?
At this prompt you should enter a number between 1 and 7 that matches your mouse. Note that most newer mice at least support the Microsoft protocol (choice 1). In particular, for some Logitech mice, you should in fact choose option 1 here. If you have any brand of PS/2 mouse, choose 4. Don't worry if you make a mistake - you can always run the program again.
The next question is
Please indicate which port your mouse is connected to.
Note that cua0 corresponds to MS-DOS COM1, cua1 corresponds to COM2, etc
1) cua0
2) cua1
3) cua2
4) cua3
5) psaux
#?
Again, type in the number of one of the options. If your mouse is on COM<n> under DOS, type in <n>. If you have a PS/2 mouse, type 5. If you have some other kind of mouse, it can also be used, but will involve some fiddling. You will then be asked:
You have indicated that your mouse is a Microsoft on cua0.
Continue with installation?
To commit the changes, type ``y'' or ``yes''. Otherwise you will be asked the questions again.

A CD-ROM drive has been detected as device hdb
Otherwise, you will be asked a question about what kind of CD-ROM you have and how it is connected to your computer. It is not critical for the installation that you answer this question. If you are not sure, choose ``none'' (1).
