USB boot question

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 2.4. Thanks.

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...
