Martin thank you for writing that! I just used Linux Rescue for the
first time and it works exactly as you described. Last night, the Compaq
mouse on my wife's Psyche box wasn't detected. I used linux rescue, then
tried kudzu, which only gave me a message about the printer, and then I
read in the book, "Red Hat Linux 7.3 Bible" about mouseconfig which
cured the problem. I'd installed the Compaq mouse as a MS Intellimouse,
as suggested on the installation page for the mouse, but it turns out
the mouse is a Logitech.
For us newbies, there are thousands of little things like this we need
to learn, to get up to speed with Linux.
