-> With mixed feedback to my question to this list last week.....I went ahead and
installed LM 5.3 on an old 486 with 16RAM, 350MB HDD and a 33mHz CPU. Install went
fine, but very minimal and VERY slow! Takes forever for X to load. I am having a small
problem tho.' I cannot get the mouse to work. I am not sure what brand or type or
where it is connected. I am a newbie to this old 486 stuff, any insights as to what
and where my mouse is? Is it a serial? Bus? Com1,2,3 or4? Thanks for all your help,
ths list as been a veritable lifesaver to me as I "lurk" in the background learning
from you all! TIA!

I have a similar setup for my masq server. I don't run X on it, and under
that constraint it provides excellent response for most purposes, and is
quite stable. (uptime: 7:01am up 132 days, 15:42, 2 users, load average:
0.00, 0.00, 0.08) Instead, to administer it I rlogin in, and have it use
my workstation as its X display. So I can run, say, emacs or printtool, on
it right from the comfort of my own chair.
As for your mouse, you have physical access to the machine, not me! Where
is it physically plugged in? Failing that, root around in /proc and see
what you find. Or get a copy of CheckIt.
