Anyone have any ideas on what might be going on causing the following 
problems? I'm trying to get my friend here to consider moving to MDK from 
SuSE, and so far he isn't having a very good experience.

Tim,
I am sitting at a root shell prompt after installing Mandrake 8.2 DE for
the 3rd time.  The first 2 times ended in heartache -- the "update
packages" part failed miserably, requesting disc #1 over and over again,
even though it was in the drive.

After try #3, which I said "no" to the updates prompt and finally made it
through the installation routine, the box rebooted and gave me the
graphical KDM login.  All through the installation, my Microsoft USB
IntelliMouse Explorer worked perfectly... but after the post installation
reboot, the mouse pointer would only move vertically when I moved the
mouse from side to side.. and wouldn't move horizontally at all, no
matter which way I moved the mouse.  Not condusive to a good graphical
experience, eh? :-)

Anyways, I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade Mandrake to the
latest and greatest of everything from the command prompt?  Perhaps there
are updated USB and/or XFree86 packages that will fix this mess.  Once I
can get into X and have a properly working mouse, I should be ok.. but
until then, I'll just wait until I hear back from you.

Thanks for any help,
Steven
