--Good Point. My CDrom wouldn't work for the install. Linux just wouldn't
see it. What I ended up doing was using my old one for the install, but
once I had Mandrake up and running it recognised the new CDrom.!? I still
don't know why this would be, but I'm willing to accept it for now. So
maybe, if you took your trusty screw driver out of the closet, opened the
box up and physicaly _removed_ the mouse, you could proceed with the
install and hopefully once you have Man/KDE up and running, try hooking
the mouse back up. As a side note, in my dealings with Linux I have heard
that it isn't the most Laptop friendly system. You might have to settle
with just putting on your old clunker at home.
