OK, I have built a custom kernel and it is working.  I added the USB and SCSI
stuff as told in USB HOWTO.  ( I removed nothing from the kernal in make
menuconfig. )

There are a few issues...  :-)

1.  I have to mount /dev/scs0 manually after I plug in my USB CD-ROM drive.  Can
this be automated?

2.  My USB mouse does not work under X.  (I'll leave Mandrake's gpm setup for
another post.)  Per the HOWTO, I edited /etc/X11/XF86Config-4  (actually it said
to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config, but there was no "InputDevice" listings existing in
that file).  This had no visible effect.  I can cat /dev/input/mice and see the
data streaming in from my USB mouse after I plug it in, but it's not being used
by X.

3.  /var/log/syslog records an error I get when booting...
    modprobe: Cant locate module usb-uhci
    usb:  Loading USB interface0 (usb-uhci) failed

    per a post to google I modified modules.conf to say
        alias usb-interface0 uhci
    instead of
        alias usb-interface0 usb-uhci

    but that did nothing except change the boot error to:
    modprobe: Cant locate module uhci
    usb:  Loading USB interface0 (uhci) failed

Thanks for any help!
