USB boot question

This is a discussion about USB boot question in the Linux Hardware category; I managed to get Debian installed on a workstation at home, but my USB mouse doesn't work unless I run modprobe hid and then modprobe mousedev then it works fine. So, how do I get it to do this auto-magically at boot time by itself? I am running Woody 2.

put mousedev and hid in the /etc/modules file in this order

hid
mousedev

should be good to go.

the /etc/modules file is where all modules go if you want them autoloaded at boot
*note the above is only for debian...
