The mouse is probably not the problem -- it worked fine with the RH
5.2 that I was trying to upgrade.
I have had some problem with this laptop crashing hard after running
for a few hours. I suspect these crashed are related to the hard
drive or the controller. It is also possible the suspend to disk is
killing me too. For about a year now I have only used this laptop
for network diagnosis. I will be less capable at locating network
problems without it but them the breaks.
