Well, it's Linux Mandrake 7.0. Just the CD. I thought this is pretty
recent.
My nagging suspicion is that this particular Logitech Mouse is not
supported. Might this be the case? (I know the standard troubleshooting
procedure here would be to try a different mouse, but I can't do that till
tomorrow, and I would love to get Linux Mandrake happening before that.)
