- Well it's a damn sight smarter than Selective Install then, which once-upon-
- a-time had me insert disks 6-15 when I wanted to change my mouse, and didn't
- even read anything off them!
-
- The apology: I've moaned previously about not being able to change my mouse
- from serial to bus through Selective Install or CONFIG.SYS jiggery-pokery.
-
- Well, the full story is that my bus mouse card was broken. I substituted
- another and I'm laughing now (or I will be when my ears cool off).
-
- For future reference: Selective Install does nothing when you change the
- mouse (from serial to bus anyway) except update CONFIG.SYS, which you can do
- yourself:
-
- where it says
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MOUSE.SYS /SERIAL=COM2:
-
- change to
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MOUSE.SYS
-
- or vice versa of course.
