I'm mainly thinking of a usb keyboard and mouse - if that's working in dom0, will I be able to use the console in the other domains, or do they need usb support too? I don't see any mention of modules in the top-level makefile, so should I be descending into the kernel source directories and doing a usual 'make modules_install' in there? Sorry for the newbie questions. It's because I'm a newbie :) * Rolf Neugebauer [0908 10:08]: > Hi Dick > > USB at least in Dom0 should just work (tm).
