Try running gpmconfig if you haven't already. I've had success doing this; when asked if I wanted to test my settings, I answered yes. The test routine then managed to find my mouse. >The second problem is that the man command does not work. Is this >command included with the base install or did I not do something right.

It wasn't until I used DSELECT's ftp method and installed other things (including the man reader, etc) that the command started working for me. >I hope to set the machine up with the KDE desktop so that I can use it as an >internet machine at home.
