Thanks for the info! I've ordered a book on Linux 6.0 from Amazon.com
-- until that arrives I'm stuck with the small booklets that came with Linux
6.5 - Mandrake. The book did mention "usr/sbin/mouseconfiq." -- but don't
remember, fer sure, what I used for my 'adminstrator' password. The video
keyboard manual video mode settings you mentioned ought to give me a better
chance to navigate until I figure out how to re-configure the mouse. (Serial
port type -- two button) Not even sure which port it's on, didn't record
enough of my system settings before I nuked Windows 98.
But, live and learn as they say -- will muddle onward...<g>
