Can anyone help with this problem?  I had it brought to my attention and
have no idea of what to tell this guy.  Any help would be appreciated.
I'm running RH6.1 fine but don't have the depth to address this problem.

  Thanks in advance,
  Art Ross


Hey Art, boy am I tired of reformatting!  I am currently taking a break from
installing so that I can type you this email.

Here is what has happened so far with the RH6.1 install.  NOTHING!!!!!!  OK,
I am alittle frustraited and quite confused.  How come Red Had did not give
the option to create a Swap file in the 6.1 version when creating partitions
with Disk Druid?  Also, why is my serial mouse not being read and is not
allowed to be installed from 6.1?

When I go through the install, 6.1 will not let me click on next until I
choose a PS/2 Mouse.  I have the PS/2 selection turned off!  I don't even
have a PC/2 connector!  Now, hopefully I can grab a PS/2 connector soon, and
that would solve some problems that I am having.  However, LINUX should be
able to read all serial mice, especially a Logitech serial mouse which is
what I have.  But 6.1 is not reading it!

Also, 6.1 will not let me finish my install.  I can create a new root
partition using Disk Druid but it will not let me click on next to go pass
that point.  I think this is because it does not let me create a swap file!

So there you have it.  I am going to install 6.0 and then try the upgrade
with 6.1.  At least with 6.0 I can install a swap file and the upgrade will
just install over everything.  I did this yesterday but after upgrading, I
had difficulties install LILO onto the boot directory and the master
directory.  Man I have had some problems.  Even tonight, after reformating
my partition, 6.0 now will not mount my CD-ROM drive, is that dieing now!
What next?

Anyway, I got windows back up and that is why you were able to read this.

I'll take any pointers about the mouse or anything else if you have them?
