Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I followed what Nick Hastings suggested, and found that when I tried to modprobe usbcore, hid, input, or mousedev, that it said they couldn't be located. I also tried uname -a, and got:
2.2.20-idepci #1 Being a newbie, I went to dselect to look for the modules, and noticed there were various kernel images there, including mine, for which the description said it only contained ide and pci support. So, I thought that might have something to do with it. I choose the base 2.2.20 kernel image, and installed it, and now my mouse works fine, as did the modprobe of those modules. The thing is, now my network is inaccessible and I receive errors, something along these lines (I'm not in linux right now, and did not think to right it down): /etc/moldules.conf is newer than ....modules.dep It doesn't seem to hurt anything, however. Anybody have any idea what I did to my network, and what I can do to fix this error? I'm thinking about reinstalling, now that I have learned some basics.
